It came back on no. 42 on Thursday. Are they able to do testing at passenger train speeds?

And then some.

The 10002 can test track up to 135 MPH, and has done so in tests. It regularly tests on the NEC at 125 MPH.

The 10003 can test track up to 170 MPH, and has done so in tests. It regularly tests on the NEC at 150 MPH.

Hopefully they can find ways to speed the train across the line, as opposed to finding issues that will cause a slow down aka slow orders.
