How long is the testing process for newly delivered 160's and what has to happen for them to qualify for revenue service?

 

Yeah, and when do the LCDs on the FIND system go into revenue service too? I t would be nice to see something beyond "we are testing these screens for..."

Yeah, you mean, "...testing these trains." Yeah, I want something else to look at on those screens. I wonder do 160s have wi-fi so information can just be sent to them, or does someone have to reprogram each one individually?

All of the R160's get delivered to 207 St yard.once all the cars for a 4 or 5

car set are on property,they go to Pitkin where the chains and shoes are

installed.they test the train for up to 2 weeks.after that,it's off to

it's assigned yard/shop for revenue service.

Sorta tangential, but the PATH PA-5s do have the LCD screens inside showing a special form of NBC or something. Not sure how they do it exactly.
they have it on their pathvison tv screens I'm assuming its pre instaled when they are tested from harrison yard.
