Ugly

Funny - they all line up for a group photo, yet they all are unrecognizable,
and are hiding the train, so there is nothing to see in the staged photo.

Idiocracy has landed.

Not bad, in my opinion. The lines are relatively clean, and no funny angles like the Cascades Talgo cab car. The "tallness" from being double-decked is "form follows function" and much better looking than the old Kinkisharyo cab cars.

Only thing that's "disproportionate" is the front truck/front cab proportions. Front cab looks too far forward from the the truck. Don't see too many American-based design with that proportion. Looks like light rail on steroids.

The Stadler front cab looks much cleaner than the Siemens Chargers, with clean headlight arrangement, and doesn't look "busy."

This is to silence the dumb "it's progress, get used to it" comments we hear on TO. Ask yourself why it's ugly, not just say it. :-)

Mater is ugly too...

That pic of the people and the train is a standard groundbreaking/ribbon cutting type pic.

Thanks for posting, glad to see them making progress. Need to sneak up to Salt Lake again to see if they have anything testing on the short Stadler track.
