Highest numbered PA5 you've seen

Just wanted to know what the highest numbered pa5 railcar have you guys seen. So far the highest i've seen is 5640. For the non operating pair is 5125

The highest I saw was either the 39, or 40

According to this:
http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/sb/ra0110/#/50

140 cars have been delivered as of January 1st.

now i'm assuming an equal number of A and B cars, so that would mean about 5639 and 5139, which is about right...
i didn't know they were coming in this fast though...

I saw a train running today that included 5647 and 5129 for what it's worth. And I let it go and waited 15 minutes for the next old train. I can't remember; has anyone said for sure if they're being delivered and/or going into service in numerical order?

Everyone: Should we start a PA1/2/3 retirement thread? With the introduction of the PA5s are an equal number of these older cars being retired?
Will the Kawasaki PA4s be the last to be retired - retained or sold off to another transit operator? Will some of those become PATH's new work equipment?

I like the design and color of the PA5s-very similar to MBTA's 0700 Blue Line cars-but from riding them and giving them a good look-over I am sure that I am not the only one that will miss the head-end views...

MACTRAXX

Spotted 5663 on the east end of Harrison Yard.

A test train running in the Meadows today included car # 5787. So thats approx. 187 cab-cars. Anybody know how many cab-less cars are on the property?

I wanna say something in the 60's like 5167 or 5168

So that would mean roughly 255 cars (187 cab-cars + 68 cab-less) or 75% of the 340 car fleet. Okay............. Actually I'm surprised it's taking this long. I originally thought it was all going to be over by this past winter. I guess we're on borrowed time now (chuckle!)

And today saw car 5790 in the Harrison Shops yard, while taking still another PA-4 ride.

5785 5187 highest numbers seen in service during my visit on 7/21 and 7/22

5785-5600= 186 Cars
+ 5187-5100= 88 Cars

There was an order for 340, and I think somewhere I saw/was told they ordered an extra 10, making it 350 cars.

So, that means that more than 75% of the order has been delivered.

Have seen 5790 and just today 5199. That would be about 289 cars. Lucky again today; on the WTC-NWK run rode 837 and 859. I forgot to notice; are there any PA-1,2,3 cars still in service? It seemed like I was only seeing all PA-4 consists on the old trains.

I've noticed that too. Of the NWK-WTC consists that I've seen, they've all been solid PA4 sets

Just a couple of PA-5 Vids I thought I'd share. Credits to NYCREDBIRD for taking and uploading.
