From reading this article the MARC is getting 54 new Bombardier Multi Level cars piggybacked off of NJT. Either MTA is piggybacking off of the design from the recent order or NJT is still getting the Multi Levels at this time but I know MARC is piggybacking off of NJTs Multi Levels. I may ride the MARC one day to get a ride on these new cars when they are in revenue service. I may only ride to BWI Airport since the MARC is slow getting to Washington DC from Baltimore.

NJT does currently have an order for multi-levels with Bombardier for 100 with a 79 car option to be delivered in the 2012-2013 time frame.

MARC should be receiving theirs during that time frame since the article just went out.
