Roughly how many train sets would $70M actually get us?
I believe the current vehicles were roughly $5M each, so that sounds like ~14 vehicles, or a doubling of the fleet. That doesn't account for inflation since the original order, but we did have options for 16 more, so we probably have some amount of price protection.
