Posted by Olog-hai on Thu Jan 18 21:37:23 2024, in response to Acela trains too old for the cold, posted by r33/r36 mainline on Thu Jan 18 21:03:58 2024. Sad. Bad build from the start and never did what was implied of them. Barely 24 years old too, and their replacements aren't in sight yet although this is the year they're supposed to start.By contrast, the service life of the TGV Sud-Est was 39 years max. And it could stop at low platforms IIRC; seeing the original Acela on display at Hoboken and its low platforms made me shake my head at the lack of thinking. |
