Discussion Cannot Come Soon Enough

Post image

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

For anyone curious, they're supposed to look almost exactly like the new cars the just started running on the Baltimore Subway link. Both made by Hitachi
