Hope they put a three-car train on the Princeton shuttle.

Would this be the first US EMU since the 1960s that has AAR couplers?

Is this an MU version of the current Bi-Level NJT cars, and will it replace the remaining Arrow IIIs?

It is, and that's been the intent ever since NJT announced that the Arrow III'S second rebuild was canceled and the development of these MLV power cars was announced about thirteen years ago.

Now whether or not these will play a role on the Princeton shuttle is an interesting question.

I'll be stunned if the MLV EMUs return the Northeast Corridor Line to a 47-mph average speed like they used to have in the 1980s . . . never mind decades before that with MP54s.

Sure would be interesting to see them on Midtown Directs between NYP and former DL&W lines.

Now the question begs to be axed, "Can Multi-level EMUs for the L.I.R.R. be far behind?

Answer is "not happening".

Do you think multilevel EMUs can fit in the 63rd Street Tunnel to/from GCM? Not likely.
