These cars will definitely give VRE's operations a Chicago look. It's also interesting that VRE ordered gallery bi-levels instead of the lozenge design used by GO Transit and other operators.

VRE already uses all gallery cars. They replaced most of their fleet with Sumitomo galleries a few years ago, and are simply trying to keep a standard fleet.
