May very well have been the pair that Scotty noticed this week.From watching the videos on Youtube of the leased equipment, I also saw a bunch of SLIV married pairs reversed as well.

This morning, I saw a 6-car inbound train on the West Trenton line with the following cars from front to back:
144-143 - Married pair reversed
383-382 - Married pair reversed
292 - Single car with pantograph pointing the same way as the pairs in front of it and thus reversed
300 - Single car with pantograph pointing the opposite way from the others and thus not reversed.
292 and 300 had the pantographs pointing at each other.

Soon you will need to be in your 60s in order to remember the 60s.
I saw 292 on June 29 and it was oriented like that. Also, another reversed married pair in the Youtube videos of the leased train sets that included other trains I saw was 457-458. Also, single car 289 is reversed as well.
They MUST be running trains through 30th Street Lower Level as deadheads in the early morning or in another process.

143-144 and 457-458 are still reversed, exactly a month later. 131-132 was also reversed as of earlier this week.

Car 292 is also still turned around. It was on train 306 this morning along with a married pair and a single (406) with the customary orientation and 171-172, which were reversed.

419 and 420 are currently switched.

I saw two switched married pairs this morning: 364-365 and the previously-reported 383-383.

383-383? That's one I've never seen before.

Oops! That was supposed to be 382-383! The same day I saw that one and 364-365 reversed, I later saw 109-110 reversed.

179 and 180 were reversed as of Wednesday, October 26.

I saw 437-438 on the Warminster line yesterday and they are still reversed.

164 led a very late-running 5368 to West Trenton tonight, with 163 right behind it, of course. I wondered if the whole train of 6 cars would be in reverse, but this was not the case.

143 and 144 are still reversed. 144 preceded 143 as the 3rd car on very late-running 326 this morning.

I'm seeing more and more cars "reversed''. I think we're witnessing a "polarity flip".
