Also, has all 65 Metro North Comet V cars arrive.

I believe the last Metro North bathroom trailer is scheduled to ship Tuesday Aug 31st. Which also marks the end of the contract.

only 12 coaches are moved east of hudson so far, these are stored in Highbridge yard in Bronx, till modified trucks can be put under them.
east of Hudson all Bombardiers have disk and tread brake , the west of Hudson cars only have tread brakes.
Out of the 65 Comet V's only cabcars and non bathroom trailers are delivered, the bathroom trailers will follow.

Now that 12 West of Hudson coaches were transferred to East of Hudson service, what numbers of the coaches (like 5136) went to East of Hudson
service & which remain on West of Hudson.

I don't think the 5136 was transferred over, but instead rebuilt into an NJT Comet IIM like the 5135, which is now 5441. The 5136 should be NJT 5442.

Does anyone know the numbers of the Comet IIB cab cars that were sent over??

Are all of the cars including 5175-5178 off NJT property???
