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.

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

@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.
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.
