It would have been better if all this happened in the 1990's when the trains were nearing end of life. So what if they were late, we still would have gotten them 20 years ago.

Instead they are now late and the trains are like 30 years past end of life.

What should have happened was they got their mid life overhaul back then and then wouldn't be nearly in as bad shape today. But they didn't so here we are.
