Passenger Trains > New Siemens ChicagoDate: 06/25/17 22:46 New Siemens Chicago Author: cajon The two engines were in Chicago last week for training the 4604 and 4611.
Where are the Siemens engines going? Dennis    Date: 06/25/17 22:49 Re: New Siemens Chicago Author: cajon Two more of the Siemens Charger SC-44.
Dennis    Date: 06/25/17 23:02 Re: New Siemens Chicago Author: mundo Cajon, they are going to the Chicago Corridor trains. Several past posts on these units, including the orgional orders.
Some also going to the North West and California. Date: 06/26/17 00:04 Re: New Siemens Chicago Author: mp51w Wow! That end door is high!

Brightline cars are designed to function at high level platforms. Date: 06/26/17 12:06 Re: New Siemens Chicago Author: joemvcnj Too high for a traditional car, too low for a hi-level car.
