Notes: For 2006, South Florida Regional Transportation Agency has added a DMU-Trailer-DMU set, numbered TRCX 705, TRCX 7002 and TRCX 706.

The 706 should be identical to TRCX 703, the first double decker DMU ever built. That unit features seating for 165, with an ADA-accessible restroom and Colorado Railcar's first straight stairways. The 706 will also feature the slightly curved upper level windows that were found on the 703 and commuter coach 7001.

The new set of commuter units should be ready to go by the end of the year.
