[edit] Lightweight DMUs on existing track?

How did they get approval to run the light-weight Stadler DMUs on existing freight tracks? Have they been given an exemption from the usual weight requirements, or is there some sort of time separation? David Arthur (talk) 20:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

They haven't received waivers yet. See this article in the Austin American-Statesman: "U.S. regulators question Cap Metro rail cars' safety". jareha ^(comments) 23:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
