The siding from the Hudson Line to Kawasaki Heavy Rail(Yonkers) which has sat unused for the better part of the last decade has been rebuilt.

 

New ties and ballast, rebuilt switch and a trimming of all the overgrown trees and weeds. 

 

Looks like Kawasaki is expecting some deliveries soon from CSX.

These are supposed to kill off the M-3s can't wait to see the front design of these trains hopefully better than the M-8s. Hopefully they want be overweight because of three electrical systems.

We've already seen the design. It's going to look like an M7 with the M8 destination boards in the front.

I think rail cars should be in different color base on the color of the line; like the M-2/M-8 on the New Haven Line.

That would be impractical to say the least. M3's and M7's are used interchangeably between the Harlem and Hudson. If they were color coded you would continuously see green on the blue and blue and the green and a mixed bag on a single train. As it stands, both on Saturday and Sunday train 9642 goes from Southeast to GCT. At GCT that same consist goes to Harmon as train 8747.

 

It's bad enough on the occasions a red train gets sent up the Hudson and Harlem with passengers and the questions that ensues.

The first M9 is officially in! Car 9001 was delivered by Kawasaki and is currently awaiting inspection by the MTA tomorrow morning. 

Do you have any more info then this? Everyone else has said that this is currently false, and unless you know for a fact....

So this is BS then? It hasn't actually been delivered. See this is why I can't trust anybody here because they have no evidence.
