Haven't kept up with Pacer preservation for a while; I was aware that at least 15 Class 142s have been saved for preservation and/or further use, and that a few Class 143/144 units would be saved too. But I've only just learned that 17 of the 23 144s will be seeing new homes at heritage railways, or with Vintage Trains.
Have there ever been passenger multiple units, anywhere in the world, quite as popular as the Pacers in preservation?
The 144s in particular; even if some of the units will be stripped for parts in the future, a 73% preservation rate is incredible.
