Will we ever see these engines in full service. Were they not to be in service last September?

A Metrolink conductor told me that they needed to be run 1000 hours in joint service before they could be released. So if they ran 8 hours in a day then it would take 125 days to complete it.

Nothing wrong with giving them a break-in period. Better to find their faults now then when they're running by themselves.

That's great, but I hardly see one running at all. To get the whole fleet broken in will take four or five years at the rate they are going!
