Posted by Sand Box John on Sat Feb 25 20:58:55 2012, in response to Re: BART’s New Fleet: Made in the USA, but Maybe Not in California, posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Feb 25 20:08:00 2012. thanks. so there are 3 groups of Bredas if IINM. which were built by Amtrak, which otherwise. I am particularly curious as to the assembly quality differential between Breda "pop up" plants and Amtrak or any other shop regularly doing railcar work.As I recall all were built by Amtrak, the 2k cars were the first order, the 3k cars were the first option, the 4k cars were the second option. Don't recall all the particulars as to who's decision it was, WMATA or Breda, to build the 4k cars with CD chopper controls as apposed to CD cam controls that were on the 3 and 3k cars. The WMATA CAF cars were built in a "pop up" plant, AAI in Hunt Vally Maryland operated the finally assemble facility. They were doing the work in a warehouse in Hunt Vally, during the same time they were also doing rehabilitation work on MUNI and NJ Transit cars in the same facility.
