Trains magazine News Wire has a photo of a completed F125. Looks good.

I don't read Trains or any Kalmbach site but is it a different image than the one posted here awhile back?

No testing as yet as it just came out the door.

Same frame and body set-up as the old F59?
If so, should have no trouble getting thru the crash tests.

Completely different body, a "monocoque" design that is lower than an F59, based on Amtrak Clearances.

Body designed and built in Spain by Vossloh

This is a Vossloh Euro 4000 on Cape gauge bogies that derailed in South Africa
