Jack the company I work for testing trains , doing all the electronics and electrical testing, Bombardier built this train, matter of fact my rookie partner worked in this contract
Hey that’s cool Randy!
Yea, I know the history, Bombardier and a consortium of French, British, and Swiss technology companies helped create the Acela.
I think I read that your company was contracted to build fifty engines for the Italian railroad after that as well as some diesel high speed trains using some of the Acela engineering principals.
