shows 242 in service of 405 ordered. done before head on collision
now 256 — with 20 in testing
Now 292 in service with another 20 testing. Almost 75% of 405 that have been ordered.
Latest count 360 delivered and 340 conditionally accepted
August 28th update. 380 cars delivered. That leaves one married pair yet to be delivered. Note at bottom of status page that 2 single level cars are now in testing and comment that they are undergoing other tests. Could it be that some singles might be bar cars ? Note also all singles will be delivered between September and November.
My understanding is that they will be passenger cars, but were ordered so Metro North had a quick way to create bar cars in case politicians started making a fuss about their elimination.
391 cars now delivered. all 380 married cars now delivered and 11 single cars delivered. One married pair not yet accepted. For some reason no singles accepted. Note 2 singles have been at New Haven for almost 3 months. Maybe MNRR has not decided how the singles are to be used.
You MNRR new Haven line riders have the new cars reduced overcrowding ?
The S cars will not be bar cars ever, they have nothing in them like bathroom or water provisions, they are simply coaches with seats, HVAC and lights, no propulsion, no dynamic brake.
393 delivered and 378 accepted. This is not the numbers listed on today’s news wire.
