Are all of the R160Bs from the second option order going to be assigned to the Jamaica yard for and service or just only half of them?

It depends, from some reports, they say half of them will go to CIY in exchange for 60 cars from the first order. I believe you asked this question already.

Anyone know which propulsion system they will use?

Probably Alstom. But to be honest, does it really matter that much what traction motor they will use?

They will, that's the plan. Some will go to the to replace the SMEEs there.

Why can't the jamaica yard get R160B siemens sets for the and ?

[R32 3348 11]

Jamaica is probably getting all of the R160Bs in the second option order. Half of them will have Siemens and half of them will have Alstom (source - Alstom press release about Option II. I will link to you if you want). I think the first half have Alstom but I could and may be wrong. We just have to wait and see.

Ease of operation/uniformity is a priority over variety.
