All information found in internet is third hand at best. Both EMD and Metrolink will not reveal the reason. Another source relayed street talk that EMD didn't admit the handrail mistake and Metrolink didn't accept the units. It is said that lawyers tried to sort it out. True? I don't know. It sounds like speculation. [quote user="Buslist"] I can't imagine that Vossloh vs Stadler could have much to do wit it as it's the same folks[/quote] I have looked into the history of the Spanish company. They have used EMD parts for almost 60 years and their newest product, the Eurolight, uses a Caterpillar C175 engine. On the other hand EMD is very vulnerable as most of the high-speed locomotive experience lies in Spain I think. Vossloh delivers the trucks and at least has designed the monocoque carbody with its CEM front. If Vossloh delivers the monocoques as kit or completed I don't know. So just little changes in atmosphere might cause problems. But again speculation. While browsing for more information on the delays I found a F125 project status report from 2014. It is not an answer to the project delays but nevertheless verry interesting, at least for me: <a href="https://prezi.com/xhizn5e6bity/f125-tier-4-emd-status-report/">https://prezi.com/xhizn5e6bity/f125-tier-4-emd-status-report/</a>  Regards, Volker
