chills_on_the_train Report post Posted February 11 So if I'm understanding this correctly, we should shortly start seeing the following consists in service: U2 Series 5/6/7 Pre-Refurb Series 5/6/7 Post-Refurb Series 8 Series 9 And none of the promised Post-Refurb/Series 8 combinations that were one of the initial goals of the program, is that right?

Pantograf Report post Posted February 11 "Shortly" is a flexible term when it has to do with Siemens equipment but yes, the goal right now is to get the 3 refurbs into service ASAP and then we'll work on the compatibility issues with the 8's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And makes me wonder how San Diego got there S70s and SD100S to run together. I've actually ridden an SD100 and S70 (newer generation) mixed consist and seemed to run really well!

It's really easy to do if the cars are spec'd from the outset to be able to be compatible with each other. And even if they're not - look at the MBTA example - it can still be done.
