[4][5][6] TriMet in Portland ordered three DMUs and one cab car for use on its WES Commuter Rail line that were built in 2007–2008.
[10] A few days later, a new photo was uploaded to the Railway's facebook page, showing that 706 has also been acquired.
Originally priced at $4 million each prior to cost overruns, the cars are equipped with places for two mobility devices and two hanging bicycle racks, and have enough space for 139 standing passengers.
[13] In 2003, after receiving a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, Tri-Rail contracted to purchase rolling stock from Colorado Railcar.
One train set was sent to the SunRail Rand Yard in Sanford, FL, months before the system opened, for testing purposes on their new commuter line.
The train set was sent back to the CSX Hialeah Yard soon after SunRail began revenue service.
The French Lick Scenic Railway acquired Tri Rail 704, 706, 7001, and 7002 for use on its various excursion trains along with 703 and 705 for parts.
They intend to continue producing DMUs for the US market, but haven't received any orders as of 2023.
