Setting a subway car on stilts.

When major work is being done on a subway car, they detach it from its wheels (trucks) and use a giant crane to lift the car body off the ground to set it on those stilts.

I wonder how they will do this for the r211t

[@lordvlygar2963]

Good question. That section inbetween the two cars is like a curtain that can be unlatched and drawn back. Another good analogy is the sides of an air conditioner in a window. They extend to fill out the rest of the opening, but can recede when the unit is being moved.

That’s an R143.
