An update to NETransit yesterday now lists MBB cars 1500 and 1503 as inactive.
This is interesting, since there are currently no Rotems in service as fully-functioning cab cars. Perhaps since there has always been a surplus of CTC's, the Rotems have enabled the first MBB's to be retired, and these CTC's were selected first since more effort (and money) is required to keep them in service vs. BTC's?
It appears that the beginning of the end for the MBB cars has come.
