They didn't have mechanical issues, they had high speed handling issues and weighed a tonNo, the Toyota Echo weighs about a ton. The E60 weighs 193½ tons. The E60s' per-axle weight is 64,500 lbs, which is not all that bad (lighter than the F40PH at 65,000 lbs per axle). I suspect whatever high-speed handling problems they had could have been fixed if the time was put into it, but Amtrak wanted the units rushed into service, just like the SPD40Fs were. |
