Does the longer version add any information at all? Or does it just take more words to say the same thing? I think it is just longer. Ground Zero | t 16:40, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I think we have an essential misunderstanding of what makes a train "articulated." Articulated trains have non-independent attached sections in which no section can stand alone, the attachment between the section resting on a common truck or bogie. The Rocket is a semi-permanently coupled six car train with a full-width passage between the cars. Each car is fully supported on two trucks. Compare with the actually articulated ALRV that actually has a common truck beneath the articulation joint.
I cannot find any reference, including at the manufacturer's site, that refers to the Rockets or their generic class as articulated. -- Cecropia ( talk) 22:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

I have just subtracted the general numbers 6196 from 5381 (the Toronto Rocket fleet numbers in reverse), and ended up with 815. Seeing these trains form as either 4 or 6 car sets, I divided it by 5 (the average) and I got 163. Is that the right answer or do I need more help? Edgar Searle ( talk) 05:41, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
