One quote I just ran across...

It will include the purchase of several hundred single-level and bi-level long-distancepassenger railcars and more than a hundred locomotives. This major equipment purchase

will replace and expand the fleet and support American rail manufacturing industries,

creating jobs in the United States.

He said bi-level LONG-DISTANCE cars. Superliner III?

I was happy to see this quote "Amtrak expects to make contract awards this spring for 130 singlelevel long-distance cars..." as I was wondering what had happened to that order.

 

[Larry H.]

I do agree that this may mean finally some progress on the long distance prospects, now if they can just see their way to opening some new important interconnecting routes..
