| Remarks: The shortest Amtrak Cascads trainset, made by Talgo in Spain, waits to someday be used in service. The purpose of this trainset is for spare parts, as it includes a Bistro, baggage, and generator car, the cars most likely to break. |

If this is for spare parts, is it wise storing it outdoors? |
Posted by Mike Bjork on May 29, 2006
It would be used if the entire car gave out. Say the coupler broke on one of the cars w/ the fins, then they would seperate the trainset (big crane), pull out the broken car, and then put one of the spares in place while the other one is fixed. I should have clairfied, when I said spare parts, I ment spare cars. But recently, a coach car broke down and there has been a set running around w/ 1 less coach than usual. These 3 cars in this picture are critical to the train running. |
