According to the Metro-North Railroad, M-8 cars in service officials are expected in only a few weeks, Connecticut's Kawasaki. Now comes the task of the gradually 235 M 2 discard the State wagenpark, plus a pending contract disposal of more than 250 includes New York City u-Bahn car worn.
"We are interested in the review of proposals by companies process, old cars, scrapping," says spokeswoman Marjorie Anders Metro North. "We expect for the price the contract in January and begin dismantling of M-2 cars early next year to."
Disposal of M-2 cars can take a while because their steel body with a sound damping material, asbestos, a carcinogen mineral contains lined are known, cause lung cancer and mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the protective lining of the lungs, heart, chest and stomach. Therefore, the transport part will have to be buried in a special landfill.
If not properly disposed of asbestos-containing materials, it is a very high risk exposing the surrounding you community to asbestos, which is a silent killer. Only decades later, cancer detect asbestos once be symptomatic people do what happened. Mesothelioma caused by asbestos takes on average 40 years to develop. By the time it to the stage diagnosed typically, three or four advanced and requires aggressive mesothelioma treatment.
The cost of the disposal of asbestos-containing material is high, impossible, the M-2 cars being to settling and scrapping for steel unprofitable. The presence of asbestos regulations any plans that hundreds of former New York City u-Bahn vehicles, artificial reefs for marine life 2008/09 create off the coast of Delaware dumped were similar to commit.
