Bombardier to refurbish MARC push-pull cars

July 20, 2007

Bombardier Transportation announced today that it has won a $14 million contract with the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) for the refurbishment and overhaul of 34 MARC IIB push-pull commuter cars. Work will cover the car body, trucks, HVAC, brakes, door controls, and other systems and components. The project will also include addition of new bike racks. Work will be carried out at Bombardier's overhaul facilities in Kanona, N.Y. The cars will be returned to service by 2010. http://www.railwayage.com/breaking_news.shtml

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
