Will the first half of option II R160B's be Alstom propulsion or Siemens?

to make this short, there will be NO more siemens cars, for some reason (according to widecab5)

Widecab didn't say all 140 cars will be Alstom, just that they're all going to Jamaica. I remember reading in the second option article that half the R160Bs will be siemens cars, so the last 70 may be siemens cars. We shall wait and see.

Doesn't that go against the R160 contract?

Okay, but that would be for the first half of Option II, the second half of option II should be Siemens. That is what the R160 contract says, that Alstom will supply half of the propulsion for the R160B's.

i had the impression that no siemens cars were going to jamaica, but things could change...

Coney Island gave 40 of its R160B Alstoms to Jamaica. So when the Siemens cars arrive, they will go to CIY, taking the place of the R160B's that CIY gave to Jamaica.
