The style of seating is also very similar, tall with similar colours.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-28294857828156914832013-12-06T21:01:57.800-05:002013-12-06T21:01:57.800-05:00Hi Allan

I will follow-up.C.J.

It will be interesting to see what the seat configuration of the trains are when they start passenger service.
