Nuh-Uh! Them motors are straight-up Kawasaki.

@AdmiralArcher And you would know.... It's adtranz propulsion. go watch videos of the R142A's and the R143's and they sound exactly the same. and the spec sheets for those cars state adtranz/bombardier propulsion. plus, virtually all other ansaldobreda products utilize bombardier propulsion. one last thing, give me one example of kawasaki propulsion being used anywhere in the USA...

Thats gottha be Ad Trans Propulsion. Those cars sound just like the R143s and R142As of the MTA NYCT system. Look at my videos for more info.

[FanRailer]

yep it is... breda is notable for using AdTranz / Bombardier propulsion...

Thats common there in boston

[FanRailer]

i guess that's just too people who aren't used to it. plus, i don't see too many AC cars mix with DC cars besides BART and WMATA.

this is the new indoor green line "superstation" at north station? I left boston in 2004 so I haven't seen this yet.

Interesting!!! Same propulsion used in our MARTA trains. Greetz, from atlanta.

What I hate is that the older Kinki-Sharyo trains that aren't low-floor don't have any handicap access, so that the two older models can be linked without having a newer model (with the low floor) link. Why hasn't the MBTA gotten sued for this?
