When it comes to equipment as large and as complex as trains, any kind of trains, it could make sense to standardize designs as much as possible. Of course there would have to be deviations needed for individual systems, but there could be many parts shared. Once a design is agreed upon, have the states that use them create a conglomerate to fund it. Make sure a plant is built (or existing plant) is in the U.S of A.. Do it this way to be free of federal government involvement, and apply for tax breaks like any other plan would get. This may sound far fetched, but I don't think it's impossible. There has to be some kind of all-American plan for us to rescue ourselves of not being able to build our own trains. When Philadelphia was mention, I cringed at the thought of that company building anyone's equipment as Rotem has had so many problems building there. Maybe all of those problems have been worked out. You may say I'm a dreamer.......................... |
