Alstom will take over the worldwide railway business of the Canadians, whose headquarters are in Berlin, for seven billion euros.Interesting sentence. Incidentally, I have read elsewhere that Allstom is not buying all of Bombardier; Airbus is buying the airplane business. |

So, it'll be on Alstom to work with any extant BBD-built former Pullman Standard designs . . . ? Wow, does that mean they'll figure out how to make Comet Vs (all Alstom) work better with older Comets? |

After the R-179 fiasco, I knew Bombardier was not going survive. Just imagine if Alstom or Kawasaki had won the contact instead!-William A. Padron ["IND"] |

There was a similar Bombardier fiasco in Toronto with the Flexities don't forget.Late deliveries and defect after defect after defect....Toronto's version of the R179. |

Whose headquarters are in Berlin. If Bombardier is Canadian and Alstom is French, why would either have headquarters in Berlin? Do they just mean Bombardier's European headquarters? |

Bombardier's rail equipment division includes former pieces ofotherEuropean conglomerates. IIRC correctly, theytook over the rail part of ASEA Brown Boveri,andpossibly a Daimler division as well. For that matter Alstom has been throughmultiple corporate shuffles itself. The wikipedia article is entertainingreading. |
