Thanks for sharing. They wouldn't let you on the platform for the ceremony? Do you have an interior photo of the front end of the car with the occupied/in-use operator's cab?

The first car was full of VIPs.
The ceremony platform was for invited guests.

No. I didn't get into the first car because it was full of VIPs. I'm told that you can see out the front with a partially obstructed view.

Once equilibrium is established, four cars per month is the anticipated rate.

Bob: As always you're on top of any news that happens south of the border. Thanks for the pictures. I see that the cars are being re-numbered into the 1000 and 1100 series. Can they still MU with the un-rebuilt equipment?

I'm talking about the cars themselves. Do they still have DC camshaft propulsion?

Presumably. The bodies and trucks/motors were retained because the bodies will last forever and the PATCO shop people perform maintenance on the motors.
