ALPs have final assembly in Kassel, car body in Wroclaw.

It is understanding the Kawasakis (trolleys) go first due to ADA. But given their young age (25 years), were the M4s lemons from an early point? The 1928 Broad Street Cars were 55 years old in 1983, the same age of the R32s in 2020. On the rail side, the Silverliner IVs might last as long as the Rea...

I'm assuming coaches only, no sleepers?

The NJDOT Bergen County map has both branches out of service as of the 2022 edition.

Had the Bayonne shuttle and Bay Bridge remained, might have done well given Bayonne gentrification, Jersey
Gardens and serving an east-west rail link with no corresponding bus service.

Not sure if they're still running, but didn't VIA have a whole fleet of sleeping (and maybe other type) cars that the had bought from British Rail? Known as "Renaissance" fleet, built by Metro-Cammell 1995-1996 for a stillborn premium sleeper service, VIA purchased the shells in 2000 and ...

I believe B&M did it under MBTA auspices with RDCs (MBTA subsidy starting Jan 1965). Even so, the agency seemed to be anti-RDC, hence the rebuilding of them into coaches. There are no off shelf AAR/FRA Class I DMUs at this time other than the UP Express (by a company that is no longer participat...

Should the delair bridge ever fail then what? Is conrail just gonna tell all their south jerseys customers too bad so sad? Afraid of a Francis Scott Key scale disaster? If something does happen, RiverLine light rail would have to suspended and CSAO running up to Trenton, clear the brush along side ...

There's also the SPVs sold to Mexico recently and at least one in St. Louis for the Polar Express at Union Station.

25 made its debut in passenger service on Whippany's Easter Bunny Express. The M&E logo was added the
following week.

Seen here on the School Street bridge east of Whippany Station.

Might been due to CARB rulings? As mentioned elsewhere most older diesels are grandfathered under EPA, so the
California rules might apply to historic equipment.

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.
