It would be a distinct possibility.  South Shore went through this problem in the 1970's as the Insull MU cars reached the end of their service lives.  Keep in mind that South Shore had to contend with lake effect snow through most of its service area.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Pure speculation but MARC sending 3 trains to BAL one car short.  It may be snow related car failures ?
