MORE RAIL-CAR TALK

Today's Inquirer ran a profile piece on United Transit Systems, which is/was to be awarded the Silverliner V contract before Kawasaki obtained an injunction from a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge. Very little is mentioned about the ongoing suit, however, there is some references to the problem-plagued N-5 and M-4 rail car orders from 10-15 years ago. It also points out that Kawasaki hasn't exactly been as reliable with some of its orders, particularly the MARC and Long Island double-deck cars.
