I'm of course pleased to learn that a two car test train is out on the rails. Regarding the comment if it were sandbagged to simulate passengers, well, "baby steps first".
Most of concern to me is that there have been no reports here, or at least noted by me, that the design weakness has been defined and addressed by either SEPTA or the new vendor's engineering. Are we simply using the same Buckeye drawings of the part that, I'd dare say, failed "prematurely"? If so, get ready for "same song, second verse" in another five years.
Finally, look what this posting drew from Mr. Google's "target marketing".
