  • @Alcofoamer correct. which is why the turbos are pushing it.

  • Isn't the X2000 electric?

  • @SgtDrDeath Amtrak uses about 900km of electrified track in the northeastern US. On top of that, there is over 1000km of electrified track used by regional rail operators such as the LIRR, Metro North, SEPTA, and NJ Transit.

  • were those rohr turboliners at the rear?

  • Thanks you, Videos very nice,

  • @SgtDrDeath We have had them for years, but not anything that can come close to matching the Europeans or Asian nations.

  • @Hands007 Dont you have electified trains in the US now?
