We are not alone.Toronto won't get the trolley cars until years overdue, nor Montreal their AZUR subway cars, and WMATA 7K's are slow, late, and defective in coming. CAF has proven pretty useless with Viewliner deliveries to Amtrak, and Nippon-Sharyo order for bi-level cars for the Midweast and California Amtrak serice is all but dead. The first car flunked its FRA structural test so badly, the car was ruined, according to an eyewitness "rivets flying like bullets" during the compression test, so the HSR money may be forfeited and returned to US-DOT. Only the CTA seems to be smooth sailing with its 5K car deliveries from BBD. |
