I mean, from a passenger perspective the nuclear-powered HVAC in the S200 along with the less-awkward seating, big windows and accessibility wins of the three IMO.

Pantograf Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Personally, as a passenger, I would pick the U2 unless it was a hot summer day, then I would head for the '8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantograf Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 There's no training officer on board so it's either a road test or a garage transfer. However, there were a couple of training U2's running around this week from both, AG and OB.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pay attention to whether or not the second person was wearing orange or yellow, though. Also, the oldest car was out today in a consist between 2031 and 2037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
