It’s 9 cars. Not all of them.

Not great but it’s is good that it was caught during routine maintenance inspections.

Wait till they find out the good electrical arc detector is locked in the safe.

I'm told it's the equivalent of a chest x-ray.

Exactly. This is how it's supposed to work when there is a safety issue. Sometimes defects will happen. Comments in other threads here about this issue and other MBTA topics have me convinced there are paid shills / car obsessed maniacs that can't help but spread nonsense about mass transit. The MBTA is overall really good (For the US). There are issues, just as there are issues everywhere. They caught this, and are fixing it. We should be glad.

The take away is really that they weren't upfront about why they took them out of service. Actually it's even worse, they didn't even want to say that they were taking them out of service, much less the why.
