CSX's B721 delivered BBRX 363 tonight to BET. This was one of
four coaches sent to upstate NY for contract repair work by a
subcontractor of Bombardier.

What type of repairs? Body, mechanical, or both?

These are coaches being repaired by a subcontractor (TTA) at Bath, N.Y. (on the old D&MM? or B&H?): 363, 366, 1607, 1634.

I am pretty sure these cars were the ones involved in a sideswipe with
a private contractor boom truck in Manchester in where the sides of the
cars got "cut open" above the the windows.

This car was returned to service last Friday(9/15) or Saturday. Besides the small structural repair done by the outside contractor, BET has repaced the trucks and HVAC unit. These trucks have a plate on them saying remanufactured by the MBTA.
