No, they do not. Welded rail wasn't used on Boston rapid transit until the 1970's. LRV's are heavier and have more articulation sections than they did even 25 years ago and require much more precise track alignment. 25 years of debugging the Bredas has tightened Green Line track standards significantly.They build the tracks the same way they do 200+ years ago, right? How hard could it be?
That's not to excuse that this screw-up happened. Hardly. But you're consistently grasping at straws ("It was the Chinese!" "It's the no-good incompetent workers!") for easy answers and easier blame when the answers aren't necessarily easy.
