Just heard what sounded like a push-pull set coming through Roslyn at 11:14. Most likely a training run, hope they are returning to the Warminster line.

144 will be renumbered to 278 and potentially made a spare control car for the gel trains.

I heard it was going to be the next pet project at Wayne after the 50 is fixed.CNJGeep wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 9:46 am 278 has been renumbered 144 and mated to 143.

Is this what you are seeing running between Malvern/Paoli and Lansdale?
From the schedules there are basically three routes paired up with Trenton trains
originating/terminating at Temple University (most likely out of Roberts Yard).
The other two pairings are Airport-Warminster and Elwyn/Media-Fox Chase.
The question is:
How many MU cars are required to provide the current Lifeline RRD service?

I was unable to get a visual but it sounded like a push-pull set.Probably Silverliner V's, since none of the push-pull sets are running. One set is parked at Roberts, one at Powelton, and all the rest are at Frazer.

Specifically between Lansdale and Malvern it looks like they are running the same 2 four car consists all day long.
