While SEPTA awaits new Silverliner V trains from Hyundai Rotem, which begin arriving in 2009, it had hoped to lease eight rail cars from New Jersey Transit, at an agreed-upon US$10,000. However, due to problems with insurance and liability indemnification, the deal fell through, according to Casey. SEPTA has entered a new agreement to purchase the eight rail cars from NJ Transit. The transit authority will pay US$ 670,000 for the cars and assorted supplies plus one additional inoperative car which will be used for spare parts. The rail cars will be operated using a SEPTA provided locomotive as they are not self-propelled.
