CTrain - U2 cars Retirement Watch


LRT

Recommended Posts

U2 cab end. New old stock. This is compatible with the ETS cars as it doesn’t have the holes for the extra light fixtures near the destination sign. 
 

Sitting outside at Anderson awaiting..... not sure what.

Made a quick count of all existing U2 cars on CT property today. 
 

OBMF

28 cars currently stored inside (including scout)

12 cars on the loop track outside (presumably next to be scrapped)

Haysbro 

8

Anderson

none

total cars 48

“Rumour” has it they will never see regular service again except for the unexpected spare consist going out worst case scenario.

There are two U2 cars parked outside OBMF as of yesterday evening that appear to be going for scrap - aka: Pantographs down, doors folded open... No idea what numbers as it's tough to read from the overpass at 70km/h.

Seriously wondering if U2's will ever make it back to regular revenue service...

The very last one built, apart from the 2 U2ACs.

So just to confirm.


Was was the last U2-DC car ever built?

Did San Diego ever receive newer units then 2083?

This just came to mind... 2102 would of been the very last U2 EVER built. (And it’s gone)

Right?

Last one for Calgary. Sorry for not making that clear.
