I've heard from a reliable source that another 16 S set cars (4x 4 car sets) maybe retired from FMC. One of them is S67 - 3018-4118-4157-3066.

Spotted 95 yesterday at Cockburn Central. I noticed on the top of the drivers cabin window, instead of 595, it said 5095. And so forth. I didn't see what set it was attached too however, as I w ...
