I can't believe there isn't a topic already posted about these DMUs. There's more of these DMUs in active service in America today than everything else put together.

NJT is running 20 GTWs on the Riverline.

CapMetro is running 6 on its Red Line.

Denton County will be running 11 on its A-Train.

That's 36 Stadler GTWs 2/6 that will be operating in the USA by late 2012. NJT's GTWs have been in revenue service since 2002. CapMetro's since 2010. DCTA's are scheduled to enter service in September 2012.
Additionally, DCTA has options for an additional 25 more GTWs, which DART and FWTA might assume for both's future Cotton Belt line projects.

I started this topic mainly because I wanted to update the status of the DCTA's order. The first passenger section of the first vehicle for DCTA has completed its welding and sandblasting process, which means its ready for the painting and sound insulation process next, followed by the lengthy installation of the interior and systems elements. The first vehicle is schedule to arrive in Lewisville in August 2011. The final vehicle is scheduled for delivery in April 2012. Testing will continue through August 2012 with “fleet transition” scheduled for September of 2012.
