Posted by Jace on Sat Jul 5 17:22:56 2014, in response to Amtrak seeks 28 next-gen HSR trainsets, posted by TransitChuckG on Fri Jul 4 14:42:27 2014. This is actually a reissue of their RFP - the first version went out in the spring as a definite Amtrak order with a possible California option. Despite big differences in the spec requirements (160 with tilt versus 220 and no tilt, plus different carbody widths), the hope was that time and money could be saved with one design that could be sort of used by both thanks to a shared 'platform'. The carbuilders apparently thought otherwise. |
