The correct designation for these cars is JWC-II for the single door versions or SEPTA-II for the center door variants. Why and how remains a mystery lost to time.
1) No retirement date is set.
2) Probably not. Anything is possible for the right dollar amount, though, so start saving those pennies.
3) None
4) The cars run on regular assignments, which generally do not deviate.

i've heard a potential rumor that 2401 is currently experiencing some sort of problem. I saw it on the Trenton pushpull set (multiple times) however 2409 was the actual leader every time, and 2401 was right behind. If anyone has info it would be appreciated

It's buried, there's usually one cab car buried in one of the push pull sets since there's more cab cars than sets. It just functions as a regular coach. Not necessarily anything wrong with it, just don't need it as a cab car currently.

ah. thats would explain it. While we're at it, Is 2403 still hangin around in a set or in a yard?
