Greetings all,
I'm not a commuter rail guy, but I stumbled upon this in Norfolk Southerns Allentown, Pa, yard yesterday, and thought you folks here might be interested. I couldn't get close enough to read any frame info, but she appeared to be new, or completely refurbished/repaired.

Very cool, that's one of MARC's Nippon Sharyo single level cars, designated as MARC II 's. I wonder what it was doing up there, some kind of servicing I guess.

They're getting refurbed - new interiors and lights, I think some HM&E upgrades as well.
