MBTA DMA Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Pair 1422/1423 is in service but is not listed as active in the inventory page. This means that there would be 28 active cars, almost enough to run 5 sets. This acceptance process is starting to go faster because that pair was delivered last month and it took longer than a month to accept cars. Link to post Share on other sites
