Increased Capacity HST In Europe |

Posted by Chicagopcclcars on Thu Aug 28 00:21:01 2008 Just what WOULD Amtrak do if demand increased.....was always a popular discussion. The power cars had sufficient power to haul more cars was always a given. Maybe if Amtrak could improve on trainset availability, they might double a set like the Thalys and TGV. On my last trip I was treated to a private tour of the ICE servicing facility in Hamburg and talk about availability, of their 59 assigned sets, 55 are available daily. Topping that is the 60 minute servicing cycle. Anyway, here's two trainsets.Paris to Zurich via 200 MPH line.;   Thalys at Paris   David Harrison |
