  • How did the X2000 move on non-electrified track? Was it both diesel and electric?

  • The last two turbos on the rear of the train were diesel and provided the power.

  • when did we have a channel 2 news?

  • They are based out of Buffalo. They had a crew in Rochester specifically for this event.

  • that german horn!

  • Between you and me I still prefer the K5LA.

  • @PuertoRican88 No China bought the Velaro.

  • @UraeusAnkhAmon they should of, but in China they bought some.

  • I think that Amtrak should have bought the x2000, it's fits to the terrible American train system and style.

  • we should have kept them. the Acela has nothing on the x2000.

  • @furryfurball1221 ROCKS TOTALLY.  if only they used full blast nhl goal horns on those trains.

  • Why do Americans have such a liking for micro windows? Are they afraid the passenger might look outside?

  • AWW they showed my turboliners

  • @0Tanaka0 - Back about 1995, a 3-car X2000 demonstrator, including a driving trailer, was trialled on the Sydney-Canberra corridor here in Oz. It also toured the eastern seaboard, visiting Melbourne and Brisbane. Power was provided by XPT power cars at each end.

    It's air, 2 Kockum Tyfon that blows at 460 and 660 Hz.
