Actually, for operational convenience, they should at least paint the M-9's to look different, if these cars aren't going to be compatible with the M-7's. |

Lincoln Journal Star: Kawasaki in line for more than $2 billion in rail car orders |

Posted by Gold_12th on Mon Sep 16 17:40:31 2013, in response to M-9 contract to Kawasaki, posted by mkeit on Fri Sep 13 23:02:09 2013. Lincoln, Nebraska where Kawasaki produces the rail cars...Kawasaki Rail Car Inc. is poised to get what appears to be the largest single contract in its history. The Long Island and Metro-North committees of the Metropolitan Transportation Agency jointly approved Kawasaki's bid of more than $1.8 billion to provide M-9 cars to both the Long Island and Metro-North railroads in the New York City metropolitan area. An agenda for Monday's meeting said Kawasaki's bid was chosen over two others. The full Metropolitan Transportation Agency board will vote on the contract Wednesday. The contract calls for design, manufacture and testing of 92 cars initially for the Long Island Railroad, with options for an additional 584 cars for both the Long Island and Metro-North railroads. The cars would be built in Lincoln. MTA spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said the initial portion of the contract is worth $355.5 million and is in the rail system's current capital budget that goes through next year. The remainder of the contract would be dependent on the availability of future funding from 2015-2019, she said. Assuming there is money and MTA exercises the options, Kawasaki would build up to 304 additional cars for the Long Island Railroad and up to 280 cars for Metro-North Railroad, Anders said. Mike Boyle, Kawasaki's Lincoln plant manager and a company vice president, said the MTA contract, including the future options, would be Kawasaki Rail Car's largest single contract to date. He declined to comment further because the contract has not yet been approved. The MTA contract wasn't the only good news to come Kawasaki's way. Last week, the general manager of Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Area Transit Authority told the authority's board that the rail system would exercise an option to purchase an additional 220 rail cars from Kawasaki. That will be worth an additional $400 million, and bring the value of Kawasaki's contract with the D.C. authority to around $1.5 million. Kawasaki signed an $886 million deal in 2010 to build 428 new cars for the authority, and earlier this year, the authority exercised a $215 million option for an additional 100 cars. Boyle also declined to comment on that contract option because it has yet to be officially approved. Despite the size of the contracts, Boyle said they would not lead to additional employment at the Lincoln rail car plant, which currently employs 600 people. Boyle said Kawasaki's full Lincoln operation, which also includes manufacturing of personal watercraft and work and recreational vehicles, employs 1,700, he said. http://journalstar.com/business/local/kawasaki-in-line-for-more-than-billion-in-rail-car/article_2b850ef2-7dfa-5c00-a73b-3acc1f60bf53.html |

If they want to win this contract on their own, they'd first have to get qualified by going through a loan agreement process, basically building a train on their dime to prove it will work. Rotem started that route a few years ago but gave up.As it stands now, approved suppliers for the R211 are Alstom, Kawasaki and Bombardier (or any combination of the three). CAF can potentially be brought as a subsupplier to one of these three building someone else's design (similar to what Alstom ended up doing on the R160). Given their ability to build stainless shells and that they're in New York, I see this as a strong possiblity. |
