Thank you much, sir!! :-)It would have been a better side-by-side if the M-2 consist which was just out of view on Track 28 had been on 29, to make a better comparison of the trains of "old" and the trains of new on the NH!! I will see if I can get that in one shot next time around. |

It is making regular runs on the NH nightly, with simulated stop runs all the way down. So my shot will come together, in due time!! Just gotta be patient!! :-) |

Is that first M8 running in revenue service yet? I heard a story about how it had to be on the road by Dec 31 in order for CDOT to raise fares to cover the costs of them.... |

The good word is that an aim for possibly mid-January is in the works, which I truly hope so because I wanna see this train on the road performing!! Tired of seeing the SLV hitting the road in service already. I am sure the M-8 will do well. |

I was talking more in general sorry shoulda been more precise. Transit wise GCT/NYC wins at least in US u don't get your body touched to get into the station here they feel your waistline and check ur bags for bombs after a 2000 incident where 12 were killed in bombs on Rizal Day (local holiday), but I really love the country and the people r very respectful and friendly |
