I hope the new CRRC Orange Line traincars get here soon now that things have or will get back to normal with the railcar manufacturer

I agree, Ian regarding the PATH Kawasaki cars which were built at the same time as the 01700 Red Line MBTA cars. Although the 01700s are 34 years old so they are kind of due for retirement and definitely the 015/01600s which came from 1969/70, 51 years ago!

That would be control car 1649 since it was equipped with ACSES to enable it to be used down south. They should consider transferring 1649 t...

Any word on the Red Line CRRC traincars delivery, still none on T property as far as the RD CRRC cars are concerned

I wonder if and when ATC/ATO will resume in Metro

The door cab car should be locked as passengers should not be able to access it. On VRE they lock the cab car door. In the mornings, as the train heads north to DC, the trains are driven via the cab car as the locomotive is pushing the train. Sometimes I wish I could tell the engineer to stop drivi...

So Im guessingm the 7K railcar order is almost complete

And now today, there will be another trainset delivered later today from Springfield to Wellington Rail Yard for their formal introduction of the new OR Cars to civilian riders
