- gottorf 3y agoI'm not sure I follow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Green Line (all of it, old and the Extension) use standard gauge tracks. The current problem with the Extension is that the brand new tracks are unstable and the parallel rails are collapsing into each other ("narrowing"). So it has nothing to do with the age of the rest of the system or the carriages, and everything to do with shoddy construction.
- pivo 3y agoYes, that’s my understanding, and my experience. The green line on the older tracks seems to be normal.
- hprotagonist 3y agofair enough. what i was getting at was that even well made new construction inherits many constraints from the rest of the line, though it does ease others.
