I wonder if Siemens might be the frontrunner (over Alstom and Stadler) to eventually win this contract due to the fact that they are already building numerous Venture coaches for Amtrak.

Those images look like the Stadler Mountaineer Coaches...

So what you are implying is that the bilevel replacement is essentially already paid for? And of the following rolling stock manufacturers, (Alstom, Siemens and Stadler), who do you think is most likely to both win and receive the new fleet contract?

How many additional (Raritan Valley Line) trains per hour could travel into and out of Penn Station if just the new Hudson Tunnels get built?

So essentially what you are saying is that The Hudson Tunnel Project will increase rush hour capacity without Penn South?

Which Gateway document said that--can you share it? And are you saying that only two additional trains per hour would be able travel through the Hudson Tunnel Project segment or the future four track segment between Kearny Junction and Manhattan?

How do you know that trans-hudson train capacity would only increase by two trains per hour without Penn Station South?

I still believe that Alstom or Stadler will win this contract (assuming that Siemens is too busy with the Airo order).

After the Hudson Tunnel Project gets built (which will double the number of tracks between just east of Secaucus and NY Penn Station). will NJ Transit (and Amtrak) be able to add additional rush hour trains, such as direct am and pm Raritan Valley Line and more Acela Express slots without any...

Apparently, some rush hour trains (which operate into and out of Penn Station) are less busy than pre-Covid, and some other trains are even busier than Pre-Covid. Does anyone think that NJ Transit can increase trans-hudson capacity with 12 car emu rush hour trains and to build one single tube...

It is too bad that fire safety regulations make it illegal to construct one single tube (instead of two).

Stadler is making FLIRT trainsets for Amtrak California. So Stadler will likely put up a strong bid for Amtrak's new bilevel trains.

Predict that either Alstom or Stadler wins this bilevel contract; Siemens is likely too busy with the Airo work.

The Gateway Development Commission has shortlisted five teams to construct the Palisades Tunnel. They are : FKC-Tutor Perini-Hyundai, a Joint Venture: Frontier-KemperConstructors,Inc. TutorPeriniCorporation Hyundai America Inc. Gateway Tunnel Contractors: Halmar International, LLC FCC...

The RFP I mentioned is only for The Hudson Tunnel Project (which runs from just east of Secaucus to 12th Avenue in Manhattan)
