Re: (erielack) Comet I cars- going, going...

Philip,

I'm curious if the Comet I's retained their 2-2 seating, or were they
converted to 3-2 seating later on?  All that I've read so far about the
double-deckers is that the commuters agree on one thing: they like the 2-2
seating and hate the "old" 3-2 seating.

From an NJT Employee Advisory, "In December, we will have nine multilevel
cars available for service.  The deliveryschedule calls for the
manufacturer, Bombardier Transportation, to produce seven cars per month
from February 2007 until July 2007, and 10 cars per month thereafter until
all 234 are on the property.  As they are delivered and tested the new cars
will replace single-level cars where they are needed most-on our busiest
rail lines:  the Northeast Corridor, the North Jersey Coast line and
MidTOWN DIRECT service.

"As the multilevel fleet enters revenue service, we will reassign modern
Comet IV and V equipment to replqce many 34-year-old Comet I-series cars,
the oldest in the fleet.  Currently, Comet I cars are used on the Main,
Bergen County, Pascack Valley, Montclair-Boonton and Morristown lines."
