   Stainless steel is very expensive.  It always seemed to me that stainless   
   bodied subway cars ought to have been sold for scrap rather than just tossed.   
      
   The M-1 "Metropolitan" railroad trains were scrapped.   
      
   Indeed, stainless steel lasts so well that PATCO is rebuilding its 1969 fleet,   
   at half the cost of new cars.
