I think you're right that and the amount of time and money spent decommissioning these cars may no longer be feasible. Â And if anybody's interested these cars are going for $1 I'm dead serious.... You just need to arrange the pickup and shipping. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the public would be able to acquire anything you would have to probably get a hold of Transit. There's an abundance of spare parts by the sound of things.. "it will be years" before we see the U2s out of service. There's still time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
