Tangara's back trouble started last summer when he began a UA weightlifting regimen, then resurfaced on the second day of practice.
The other risk is that while Tangara would sit out - when the team might be able to use him in games - a doctor could rule later in the season that he can play.
Tangara said he is willing to sit until his condition is more definite, and if the injury ultimately means he stays at the UA for four or five years, Tangara says he's OK with that, too.

It is distinguished by yellow panel flashings at the front and rear, and inside sports improvements for intercity travellers, such as onboard toilets and fresh water dispensers, high backed revertible seats (the original Tangaras had their seat position fixed), and luggage racks.

 - TANGARA 4-car set derailed ?
The tendency to derail on pointwork and curves for me (hopefully, I am seeing ghosts) seems to raise questions about an excessive stiffness of the "rocking stabilizer" cranks in the bogie frames.
This is actually required to negotiate ramps of changing superelevation, pointwork in curves, and the like.
Sorry to note that the damage was mechanically worse than in the German Neustadt incident of 1997, but IMHO the Tangara trains still seem to feature a higher level of passive safety than the German double-deckers.
