It’s seems SEPTA is finally preparing to retire its venerable Silverliner IV fleet. Documents suggest a desire for single level EMU’s, which I think is right given how the RRD is in certain ways more akin to a subway system than most American commuter rail. The order should be about 250 cars, and would mark the largest capital expenditure SEPTA has made to date. Funding will make this process interesting. We’ll have to see how this works out.
