Great videos and thanks for posting them. How many R179s have been delivered so far besides the ten car train?

There are currently 18 cars on property (10-car and 8-car train). A second 8-car train is scheduled to arrive in a few weeks.

At what plant is Bombardier building the R179s?

Thanks, at least the cars are gradually arriving.

Great video... too bad it was not during daytime...

I suppose it's a lot faster delivering them that way, then on a freight train...

I can imagine what a sight the longer R44&46's would have been if they came down the road when new...
