Posted by Avid Reader on Sat Jul 1 10:56:22 2017, in response to Re: MARC cars to LIRR ?, posted by Bill Newkirk on Fri Jun 30 15:29:55 2017. What other Commuter lines in the US use the Sumitomo/ Nippon Sharyo "MARC II" type cars?The only single levels that MARC has in service these days are the Sumitomo-built "MARC II" cars. The Sumitomos date from the late 80s, when most of the other northeast commuter roads were picking up Bombardier-built cars like NJTs Comets. The MARC IIs are actually quite similar in many respects. MARC has: - (50) Kawasaki MARC III Bi-Levels Coaches: (33) Standard (T) Cars (7) Cars w/snack bar (10) Cab Cars - (13) Kawasaki Bi-Level Coaches (ex-VRE): (9) Standard (T) coaches (4) Cab Cars - (60) Nippon Sharyo/Sumitomo MARC II Single Level Coaches and Cab Cars (26) MARC IIA (rebuilt a number of years ago) (34) MARC IIB (currently being rebuilt by Bombardier) - (12) Pullman Bi-Level Gallery Coaches (70's era refurbished, ex-Metra) |
