Ok, I read that the breakdown of the order was 130 A-Cars (5600-5729) and 210 B-Cars (5100-5309).Piece from Railway Age Article also stating about the amount of A-Cars: PATH operates four terminals—Newark, World Trade Center, 33rd Street (Manhattan) and Hoboken—13 stations, and four core weekday services—Newark-WTC, WTC-Hoboken, 33rd Street-Hoboken, and 33rd Street-Journal Square (Jersey City)—with shared track. The CBTC system will be deployed in sections; much of the legacy automatic block system with mechanical trip-stops will, at least for a time, be retained as a fallback, and as a means to operate non-CBTC-equipped railcars. Onboard CBTC equipment will be installed inside 130 PA-5 cars equipped with an operator’s cab; these cars, like NYCT’s R-142 and R-160 cars (supplied by Alstom and Kawasaki) have been designed and built "CBTC-ready." -Trevor www.ttmg.org |
