Which one was this?

It's from last month's LIRR committee meeting, at 4:56: https://youtu.be/Xs-EFlqSKWo?t=4m56s 

Looks like nobody noticed it until now. 

Hmmm, appearance-wise I have to say I don't mind the Cuomo stripe but I liked the yellow-and-black front end on the original cars. The new end design is pretty bland.

I think they're still in Pueblo rn

I haven't heard anything about them coming to Yonkers, which means we're still a few months away from seeing them on TA property.

The production cars are expected to arrive at Yonkers for final assembly/testing around June/July.

Rumor has it that they will begin testing on the property next month sometime.

It would have looked better if the M9 front end paint scheme for the Long Island was blue on yellow. I could perhaps understand this for the Metro North, since they mainly use blue on their trains.

Don't shoot the messenger.  That's what I heard.

Anyone have updates?

The yellow faced M9s from Japan are in the states, but they derailed in route to NYC on the freight train it was a part of. So those cars will stop by Kawasaki in Yonkers to get new trucks and to be inspected for damage.

I wasn't aware of that, but arent there 8-10 cars in NY at Fresh Pond/Hillside already?
