Interesting breakdown. A few questions about this:
1) Is there an official reason as to why each car has 1 MNR and 1 State Of CT logo and will additional logos, etc. be added to the respective owners' cars once all have been delivered?
2) A Wikipedia link to an article in Trains magazine claims that there is an option for yet another 25 additional singlets. Fact or fiction?
3) Since there is the possibility of yet an additional option for 58 or 68 or so cars (and presuming that this batch will be owned only by CT) would that make them 9700-9757+ ?
4) Would the 9600 series cars be for SLE service since it has been mentioned quite a few times before in DOT documents that there would be 24 (to 32) cars used for SLE service?
5) Bar cars are indeed a go? Or will these be coaches specially numbered for conversion to bar cars?
