Cait Sith Posted August 27, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2008 I believe they are, with slightly different specs. I read about it somewhere, if I find the link i'll post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even had a rendered image of a MLV in NWK Penn Station with their paint scheme. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:XnK5Keg_b8FhpM:http://www.bombardier.com/en/1_0/ml/8315/2_LR_AMT_Multilevel_EXT_2.jpg Its a very small image, and I can't seem to find the bigger image on Bombardier's website, so sorry.

That photo is so weird! I am so happy those low profile multilevels are catching on! (NJT)'s gamble paid off. Now lets see what the dual modes and alp-46a's do for them.

NJT has built a great relationship with Bombardier, and other transit agencies and railroads, getting involved and getting a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted August 28, 2008 Ya, i'm quite impressed with (NJT)'s purchasing choices for their rail operations. I really hope (SEPTA) gets the comet 5 and perhaps an alp-45 or 10 to aide in re-activating the ends of lines currently un-used & in case there's a power failure they can still move passengers. Also, all those other high speed corridor projects could use the alp-46 when (NJT) is done with them and are on to the next thing after alp-46a. I might have to go up there to mtl & check it out when they are done being delivered so i have a good chance of getting one. By that time the alp-46a's will be well run in on (NJT)'s lines - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
