I know it's kind of a pain to back the coaches up after they get to the end of the overhead. Hope they don't give up on trackless operation; maybe there's not enough interest ? Also, what's the status of PCC 3127? Does anyone know if it's operational?

That train is out of service because of restoration work being done underneath the floors. They are recieving a significant amount of piping and structural work which has sections of the floors torn up. So while it is technically correct that the condition of the floors is keeping them from carrying passengers, it's because of restoration work in progress.
