MTA has 100+ years of legacy track. Imagine trying to retrofit anything into a 100-year-old codebase. Ouch.

It's not uncommon to slap a DRO kit on a 100yo machine. 100yo bridges routinely get upgrades in surface coating and/or instrumentation/electronics.

In effect, aviation and automobile infrastructures likewise have 100 year old code bases. And for cars, it varies by state (and county and city but mostly by state).
