Passenger Trains > Whither The X-Train?

Amtrak No.4 recently picked up the two "X-Train" psgr cars at Lamy and moved them to CHI.
Some have suggested that maybe X-train was only leasing them in the first place. In any event
they should get some use now. Maybe to Indy ???

They were leased. Last word was that X-Train never paid the lease fee.

Hey, Bidhitter...what's up?

I didn't know the Nevada Department of Corrections allowed inmate access to Trainorders. <g>

Some things don't change...

Anywhere EXCEPT Vegas to Southern California!

That would be these, as used on Santa Fe Southern this summer.

X Train and the Pacific Imperial Railroad. I often wonder if they are one and the same?

Wonder if there is enough material for a railroad repo show on tv..

mid america cars

Perhaps we should say "wither" the X-train.

"Reality" is what the gullible will believe.

Investors in X-Train have that same issue but a more bitter "reality"
in the end.

GREAT PAINT JOB! Must have taken all of 30 seconds to do using a can of paint and a stepladder.

Boy all this hype about getting a train back to Vegas and look what happened! What a joke!

Or more likely, they hired high paid branding consultants who billed hundreds of hours to come up with that X. Over the past few months, I have watched this happen at my employer...high paid consultants arguing with high paid executives over one letter in our rebranded logo. Oye vey.

...and with no money, paid them with stock?

Haha, good one. If we followed the original investor money that's gone poof now, I bet that road is littered with consultants and study authors. I think we were bullish when we called this a penny stock...

The repo guys could sneak up to recover the rolling stock with their stealth locomotive!

Too bad the old Train-X trains was scrapped in the 70's. Sad that neither made it into a museum. And they would no longer have to hit up the VW dealer for metric fasteners!
