We cannot put these cars into service until the APU is installed and final field testing has been completed. We have had extensive meetings with Mitsui and Toshiba to get the project completed. At this time the vendor promises the APUs will be fully installed in the cars by late Spring 2001. We understand how important it is to get these cars into service and relieve overcrowding on Trains 104 and 106 as well as some of our mid-day and evening trains. We have fully tested three of the new cars and have introduced them into revenue service.
Trains are limited to a maximum of eight cars.
