That is pretty incredible that a 208m M9 weighs 660t, compare that to a 243m Class 700/1 (used on Thameslink and shown in the NY Post article) which weighs 410t. That works out treble the weight by passenger capacity. Some of those excuses are just peculiar.

I’m off to New York in April so might see how the M9’s and other modern US rolling stock compares to its peers in Europe.
