The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) is spending $274 million to replace 120 passenger cars in their commuter rail system.
73 of these new cars will replace ones built in the 1960’s!!! The first three new cars went on their maiden voyage this morning.
The new Silverliner V rail cars are being partially built in South Korea and finished in Philly. The new cars have better air-conditioning and heating systems, wider doors, wider aisles, larger windows and wheelchair areas. All 120 cars should be in service by mid 2011.
