They look like DMUs!

[singwith]

@trainsforever8 Really?

[Neno8403]

The cab car looks somewhat similar to a P42 in design, but the P40/P42s are generally very attractive... these cars look like crap Euro railcars aka ugly! To this day, my favorite bilevel commuter rail cars are the Kawasaki cars that MARC uses.

@Neno8403 did not know that MARC use the kawasaki.

[AmtrakBoys]

Cool! it kind-of looks like a P42 in cabcar form

[singwith]

@AmtrakBoys Thanks!

[vietmaster3945]

@Neno8403 Amen to that.

[trainsforever8]

@singwith To me they visually do,but that's prolly cause of the cab car~

@Neno8403 i like the budds metra uses

[northlanderdude]

the coaches aren't bad, the cab end could look better.

Metrolink trains aren't that long for L.A.

Toronto GO Trains are 10 or 12 cars long.

@JetMechMA

You're welcome. I hope the Silverliner V cars currently under construction and delivery for SEPTA can overcome their teething pains. I wonder how well the Metrolink cars have been performing so far....

[JetMechMA]

@trainman1971 Good for them....really. I wish them luck. Thanks for the info. Thanks very much.

The Philadelphia Hyundai-Rotem plant is union now; workers are represented by the Transport Workers Union. But it took a court fight (which Rotem lost) to get them firmly in. Negotiations for the first contract are ongoing.
