Date: 05/22/05 09:32 Re: whereisit? Author: JPB Indeed you're both correct! These are photos taken at South Station prior to a Boston to Providence and return demo run in summer of 1993($20/ticket, IIRC). Not only are catenary wires not yet strung but the platforms are still open as the overhead bus station / parking lot construction is just beginning. The X2000 was pushed/pulled by a pair of Turbotrain power cars. It was a great ride. I would have been very content had the X2000 been deemed worthy for NEC use.

Gonut Date: 05/23/05 17:52 Re: whereisit? Author: n2trains52 I have never seen this but in video and in pictures, but my friend said that was a classic moment when the train rounded the curve in Petersburg being pushed by an F40PH or two!
