Version 1.0 of anything is fraught with issues and headaches. Amtrak obviously saw that in the expense to add two more unpowered cars with no additional power in the power cars. As bad as this may seem, better to do this than the alternative. Now that there's experience behind the design, new ones should have a reasonable life since they'll be 2.0 or better after the learning curve is now out of the way. They might even tilt properly. |
