For anyone who is wondering why the cars were transported by truck, the connection between the SEPTA Roberts Yard and CXS has been temporarily severed due to a CSX track lowering project. The truck option was considered better than other, more circuitous rail routes.

These testing cars were assembled in Korea and delivered by ship to the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia. The production cars will be assembled in Philadelphia.
