Unless they also buy the unused MARC toasters and take over maintenance on them. We got 'em sitting there doing nothing in Riverside.

We got 'em sitting there doing nothing in Riverside.Any speculation as to what kind of shape the MARC units are in at this point? Would they be worth SEPTA getting them even just for parts supplies for their own AEM7s?

Don't know which ones would be purchased. These are just the list of what's on the property today.

This would replace 7 AEM-7s and 1 ALP-44, and unless they get the rumored bi-level push-pull coach order in real soon, this could provide extra cars in the short term until more coaches are delivered, right?Yes, 13 with an option for 5 to make 18. Scheduled for delivery in 2018.
