Indeed. I think CTrail also plans to base a number of them at their New Haven yard for use on their new Hartford Line. Hopefully the order means we could see expansion of the service.

Some will be allocated to that line. They will also run on the Danbury and Waterbury branches as well.

New faregates were unveiled. They aren’t ready yet but the pilot installations are underway. With the inclusion of wider ADA-compatible ones, the door that people commonly use to fare evade can go away, since wheelchair and stroller users can use the wide gate.

The doors are emergency exits. They will not go away.
Wrong.
They are going away. Those doors are a major sourcw of fare evasion. The MTA required design candidates to be useable in emergency evacuations.
The new fare gates would also replace the emergency exit gate. They would facilitate emergency evacuations, as well as be wide enough for wheelchairs to get through.
