I say the R5 gets it 1st for the rich people (the R5 is a long run too) the The R1 to show off to the tourist, then the R7 (another long run) and its up for grabs after that.
There is also the possibility of the use of the Silverliner V's being used on the R3 since the R3 was the first route to use the Quiet car and also possibly the R7 since that was the also the first route for the ALP-44's with the Comet II passenger cars but then again i might be wrong
Excellent. With great camera shot of the train, it will remind you how the train looks when it is pulled up to the station. Unlike may other electric powered trains which has loud audible propulsion system, this train has quieter acceleration when it begins accelerating. Great job of the Silverliner V test train and I will look forward to riding it in R5 Thorndale Line.
Of course the R-5 will get them first. We just HAVE to kiss the back-sides of the richest people in the whole country (Gladwyne, PA is the wealthiest zip code in the U.S., ahead of Beverly Hills CA and Greenwich, CT).

They look like MFL cars, just with smaller windows in the front.

yeah it does look like the EL expect a little larger and better speeds the EL runs slower than the regional rail lines.
56yuoi 2 years ago
No they're about the same. (Really fast)
tkandme3 2 years ago
i know what i meant was the speeds on the regional rail line speeds are better and faster.

I think the R5 should be the first line to get them. it get the most use. good place to get broken in. (not physically speaking of course).

@nyshortline
wealthy people don't ride metro.
anyway, pretty ugly train.
Rotem can build nice looking aerodynamic trains.
I guess SEPTA insisted on keeping the old and ugly design.

Assuming the speed on this video is real time, that's some *really* zippy acceleration out of the gate. I like it!

septa did specify at least a 2.5 mphps empty acceleration rate, so i'm not surprised.
