>>>Actually in the 70s, the r-32s ran well, relative to the rest of the fleet. But in those days 15 - 20,000 was a high MDBF so
draw your own conclusions. Remember, that was the era of deferred maintenance.

Dude: An utter nightmare! :)

I am not sure if this has been asked before (and I am sorry if it has), but I would like to ask what were the best and worst car types (historically, since the unification) in terms of initial (within the first year) MDBF statistics. IIRC, the R-44's had MDBF's of about 7,000 soon after delievery, but you would certainly be more familair with this than I am. Thank you very much!

-cordially,
