    New Jersey Transit, the country's third largest transportation agency, uses KinkySharyo's light rail cars for northern New Jersey (Primarily, Newark and through Jersey City, Bayonne and Hoboken) and southern New Jersey (Camden, Trenton and in-between).

    I think the Siemens S70 is now the S700. I noticed how how the Kinki Sharyo LRVs traction motors sound similar to the original S70 in Houston .

      S70 is the forward facing seats in the C section. S700 are side facing seats. Makes for a more open aisle.

    The Siemens cars made their debut in 2022. Not 2008. Brookville was 2022 also.
    Only 5 S700 are currently in service. The rest are being prepared for service.

      @@brickitect420 Phoenix, Arizona is known for having a relatively high occurrence of thunderstorms, particularly during the monsoon season which generally runs from mid-June to late September. There are several factors that contribute to this phenomenon.
      One of the main reasons is the region's location and topography. Phoenix is situated in the Sonoran Desert, which is characterized by hot, dry conditions and a lack of moisture. However, during the monsoon season, a shift in wind patterns can bring in moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of California. This moist air can collide with the hot, dry air over the desert, creating instability in the atmosphere and leading to thunderstorm development.
      Another contributing factor is the intense heat that is common in Phoenix during the summer months. The high temperatures can create a thermal low-pressure system, which can also contribute to thunderstorm development.
      Additionally, the mountain ranges surrounding Phoenix can play a role in thunderstorm formation. As moist air is forced to rise over the mountains, it can cool and condense, leading to the formation of thunderstorms.
      Overall, a combination of factors including the region's location, topography, and weather patterns contribute to the high occurrence of thunderstorms in Phoenix, particularly during the monsoon season.
