Remaining Kawasaki Cars South

Remaining Cars
1702, 1703, 1705, 1709, 1711, 1715, 1717

All, or at least most, of the blind Kawasakis are also still south.

Only the rebuilt k cars blinds are south. A few 900s too on 2 doubles 3 flats set. More of them will head north and replace the rest of the 1600s as the remaining cars for the order comes into service

Anybody know what happened to 1700? Last seen 3 months ago but recently assigned north almost 2 weeks ago according to NETransit. Did it break and had to be sent to BET to be fixed or something like that?

According to MBTA Video Clips, we've lost all 900s on the South Side. This kinda sucks because we have now lost the last of the original build Kawasakis, as well as the fact that the more 900s go up north, the more troubled new 800s come to take their place.

1717 supposedly is now north. I'll update when it appears on the tracker.

1717 is north now. It’s on the tracker.

I betcha 1700 and 1701 are spare control coaches meaning that they are on standby, but not assigned to any sets at the moment. That’s why certain control coaches aren’t active for some time. They rotate them between active service and spares. Same with engines.

1701 electrics completely died a few months ago. unsure if it's still getting repaired tho. 1700 my friend says is waiting for a new plow.

SS K car updates:
1702: Last seen 2 weeks ago - according to a friend its going on the switcher tonight
1703: Last seen 6 days ago
1705: Seen earlier today
1709: Active
1711: Active
1715: Seen earlier today

NS 1719: Last seen 1 week ago (maybe prepped for switcher? I doubt it but thought I'd add anyways)

SS K car updates 2/1/24:
1702: Last seen 2 weeks ago - unknown if it went north on the switcher or my friend made a typo and 1703 actually went north.
1705: Active
1709: Active
1711: Active
1715: Active

NS 1703: Active - moved from south side since last update

1703 is now on the north side. Saw it on the tracker. I’m sure 1702 went too since more new rotems are displacing them up north.

I'm glad that this page I made is actually getting attention, as I didnt think it would. :

1702 is still South in Readville

not sure what the obsession is with Kawasaki CCs SS, but as of 2/2: SS 1705, 1709, 1711, 1715

The equipment cycles have no rhyme or reason. The K cars are not getting "removed" from SS, all depends on the rotation of equipment, what gets picked for what. We have not "lost" all 9** series SS either, not sure where you're getting your information from, I had some on my sets this week.
