If you also consider that SEPTA won the APTA Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award, its a Triple Crown!

[quote="KAWASAKI-FAN100"]LED interior lights, new seats, new flooring, etc. The members who worked on the team that VOH these cars told me the first 35 push-pull coach cars out of 53 will be VOH.



K-F And Everyone: I like the chosen colors for the new SEPTA P/P car interiors - The seats certainly look better then they
did when they were brown...The one question I have is did they retain the MNCR-style cushion seat backs?

MACTRAXX

They are snazzy I love it. I hope SEPTA gets more Comets from NJ TRANSIT ....Quick question does anyone know which run and time these coaches run on the Trenton Line ? , I Want to ride them

By the way, those seats are really, really soft.

They rotate around the system. If they do run on the R7, look for them on the Push-Pulls...
