Had the Bayonne shuttle and Bay Bridge remained, might have done well given Bayonne gentrification, Jersey
Gardens and serving an east-west rail link with no corresponding bus service.

Not sure if they're still running, but didn't VIA have a whole fleet of sleeping (and maybe other type) cars that the had bought from British Rail? Known as "Renaissance" fleet, built by Metro-Cammell 1995-1996 for a stillborn premium sleeper service, VIA purchased the shells in 2000 and ...

I believe B&M did it under MBTA auspices with RDCs (MBTA subsidy starting Jan 1965). Even so, the agency seemed to be anti-RDC, hence the rebuilding of them into coaches. There are no off shelf AAR/FRA Class I DMUs at this time other than the UP Express (by a company that is no longer participat...

Should the delair bridge ever fail then what? Is conrail just gonna tell all their south jerseys customers too bad so sad? Afraid of a Francis Scott Key scale disaster? If something does happen, RiverLine light rail would have to suspended and CSAO running up to Trenton, clear the brush along side ...

There's also the SPVs sold to Mexico recently and at least one in St. Louis for the Polar Express at Union Station.

25 made its debut in passenger service on Whippany's Easter Bunny Express. The M&E logo was added the

Seen here on the School Street bridge east of Whippany Station.

They should already have started building them last year as we need them next year because the 2000/3000 series are too old and need to be retired by 2024. The 3000s seemed to be the backbone of WMATA for years and even outlasted newer cars. The new 8000 series, in the recent prototype sample, rese...

Of course there are signs that read "riding between cars prohibited" and "do not stand in the vestibule".

Makes sense, but on crush load NJT trains, often riders end up doing such.

Given typical delays in new construction and extensions nowadays, 2025 seems reasonable.

Thinking more along the lines of UP Express.

The very first Silverliner IV from '73.

Not yet. The first cars should still be at Plattsburgh nearing completion.

They're pretty much incompatible with the Exo fleet, and on top of everything else, there were a host of defects still to be dealt with. What differences are their between the SEPTA and EXO cars and how significant are these variations? I'd recommend SEPTA wait and see with ConnDOT's Alstom single ...
