First tilt train over here that I know of is the New York Central "Xplorer" train. Posted pics of it in here somewhere last night. As to the Acelas, it was Bombardier's first foray into it. They had a LOT of issues before acceptance and most of the fixes were pure cobbery. I recall reading that they can't tilt the way they were intended because of their width. Like I said, 1.0 designs are headaches, that's why in software at least, NEVER install anybody's 1.0 unless you have your own geek chained to your desk. It's like that in other industries too. |
