New M-8 Metro-North Train Cars For New Haven Line En Route In Replica Form

The Stamford Advocate reports that a replica of the new M-8 Metro-North train cars which are scheduled to go into service very slowly beginning in late 2009, is enroute via a slow boat from Japan.

When it arrives, people will be able to sit in the cars, watch the doors open and close, and be told sternly that they may not bring their bicycle aboard.

Seeings as that the new New Haven Train Yard, which is required to maintain the new cars, is horrifically overbudget and hasnt even been bid on yet, this replica may be the closest thing to a new train car New Haven line passengers can experience for some time to come.
