Back in the 1990s, I remember seeing the 1800s being delivered on flat-bed trailer trucks too. I wondered at the time how that could be easier than by rail. Seems more complicated by truck.

Have they picked up on any issues, or do the cars seem to be relatively clean?I've heard that the first four cars, from China, will be heading out to Springfield to get what ever mods they need to bring them up to operational standard. The second four cars from China are at Wellington undergoing testing and training runs and two to four Springfield cars are there or on their way.
The goal is early 2019, I would say February or March. Also the four Chinese cars, still at Wellington, can only be mid-consist cars at the moment, until they are brought up to full mod.
