VIA’s new Siemens equipment
Author: DavidP

VIA has posted a number of pictures from a roll-out event for the Siemens train sets on their Instagram site - probably other social media as well.  Nice looking trains.  They don't seem to be dealing with the same plumbing issue that has sideline Amtrak's version of this equipment.

No, they have not tested the water "officially" yet. But, the cars will require the same rework as the other Venture cars.

We also don't know what the requirements are for Canada's equivalent of the FDA or EPA, whichever it is.

So what are the differences between the Venture cars and those delivered to Brightline. There hasn't been similar issues with their cars.

If you're using copper piping it's gotta be soldered. Now was the right solder used or did it have too much lead?
