While we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, both New York State and State of Connecticut New Haven Line customers have certainly experienced significant difficulty due to the storm damage to an already insufficient equipment fleet. There is no question the State of Connecticut went too long without procuring new equipment that the new M8 cars cannot come soon enough. Over 100 cars were damaged during the last two major storms, and the impact on all aspects of service has been significant. We are working around the clock to make repairs, while trying to maintain service as best we can during this severe weather as we await the release of the new cars. The M8 cars that we have received are going through a mandatory four thousand miles of testing. Some problems have arisen and been resolved, and the weather has played havoc with recent scheduled night tests. While we can provide no guaranteed date, we hope to put the first M8 cars in service sometime in the next two months.
