Double Deck Passenger Cars

a little proof that MBTA 932 was on teh end

I was merely stating how slow our system can be at updating itself at times.

i understand that
as well as that wasnt aimed directly at you
but was just a general statement

did any double deckers make it to the north side yet?

Sure! There are lots of them. On the dead-line at BET.

Oh, by the way, the 932 arrived and is now sitting on the north side of BET. This concludes deliveries of the order.

932 is here, that's good. Now the order is finished. Hopefully it'll pass acceptance testing and soon take passengers.

Are all of the new bi-level Kawasaki cars now actually in service?

Not yet, I don't think. They still are going through acceptance testing, mainly the last few especially 932.

How does that work out with purchasing them? I mean... if they don't pass what do they do with them? Send them back? If this is the case doesn't the market/product value drop like that of a automobile?

i saw 930 today on train 812 in Mansfield, has 931 932 been accepted yet for service?

Wile leaving North Station going to Haverhill yesterday on MBCR 233 i noticed that at least one Kawasaki could have been 931 or 932 attached to a F-40. It was hard to see the number as the Lowell Line climbs up a grade and the Haverhill Line goes it's way towards Malden.

It's 932... and this morning 926 was coupled to it as well.

AT LAST!! All 33 900-s are now on the road. I had 926 this week on the Canton Jct to/from 128-BOS.

The 932 is a BET with the 926 and F40PH-2 1012. I don't think its been
accepted yet.

Oh Ok I didn't catch that yet, I though I saw it too. But I had 926 from RTE 128 up to BOS.

Also, F40 1012 is ST214's favorite engine....
