Manufacturer plate on the next gen BART cars.

Should the next generation BART cars have on the manufacturer plate
"Built for BART by [whoever builds the next gen cars, i.e.,
Alstom Transport, Hornell, New York,
Bombardier Transportation, Plattsburgh, New York,
CAF,
Hitachi, Ltd. - Rail Car Division,
Kawasaki Heavy Industries - Rail Car Division, Yonkers, New York,
Kinki Sharyo (Boopie's favorite),
Nippon Sharyo,
Siemens AG - Transportation Systems Division, Sacramento, California]."

as well as "BART NextGen Cars by [insert builder name here]" ?

Examples for the automatic announcement system on the next gen BART cars

Here are my example phrases for the automatic announcement system.

"This is a Dublin/Pleasanton-bound four car Blue Line train. Next station (or The Next Stop Is): Powell Street."

"Now approaching Powell Street. Connection is available to MUNI bus lines and MUNI Metro Light Rail Lines. Doors will open on the left side."

"Now approaching Dublin/Pleasanton, the terminal station. This is the last stop on this train. Attention, passengers, please leave the train at this station. We appreciate your patronage and thank you for riding BART."

Traction motors on the 1st gen BART cars prior to rehabilitation

Does anyone know what the Direct Current (DC) motors were on the 1st generation BART cars before they were rehabbed?

I'm guessing Westinghouse (the same company that furnished the 1st ATC system for BART) model 1463 direct current traction motors.

Who built the station elevators and escalators at the BART stations?

I'm wondering who manufactured the elevators and escalators at the BART stations.

Can anybody tell me who it was that built them?
