I believe most of the NJ TRANSIT fleet is manufactured by Bombardier in Quebec. To add insult to injury, there are likely to be extensive delays in the repairs and replacement of this rolling stock ... since the workers at the Bombardier plant have been on strike for a while.

Bombardier’s rail group was merged with Adtranz over ten years ago. Bomardier was like a goldfish swallowing a whale when they bought Adtranz from Daimler. Bombardier’s stock price has never reached the $30 level since. Because of management issues, Adranz has always been a low margin operation.

Changes in the ownership of Adtranz going back in history reflect that and prove it was an ill advised purchase by Bombardier.
