"Informed sources" (several levels above rumor mill) indicate that the consortium is in the process of terminating the contract with NS (bout time). If they can get an extension on the funding they will rebid the project but for single level cars ( the states are leery of higher personal injury costs reported by CA for falls on the steps). We'll see how this all plays out.
