Re: San Fran & Napa Valley spots?

They should already have started building them last year as we need them next year because the 2000/3000 series are too old and need to be retired by 2024. The 3000s seemed to be the backbone of WMATA for years and even outlasted newer cars. The new 8000 series, in the recent prototype sample, rese...

Of course there are signs that read "riding between cars prohibited" and "do not stand in the vestibule".

Makes sense, but on crush load NJT trains, often riders end up doing such.

They're pretty much incompatible with the Exo fleet, and on top of everything else, there were a host of defects still to be dealt with. What differences are their between the SEPTA and EXO cars and how significant are these variations? I'd recommend SEPTA wait and see with ConnDOT's Alstom single ...

The New York Transit Museum might be interested in featuring your book in store (at Grand Central and online) and might even host a lecture or book talk on the topic.
