Passenger Trains > 390 Cancelled - Charger FailureDate: 01/08/22 09:11 390 Cancelled - Charger Failure Author: 2904 IDTX 4612 had a mechanical failure, 390(08) and 393(08) cancelled. Thank you Siemens Immobility!

Should've gone turbo fleet-wide! You bet they did and thank God they did not. Turboliners were troublesome POS from Day 1. Buffalo snowstorms in the late 1970's - been there - done that.

Why can't they design something that actually works? Or is it Amtrak mechanical issues again?

I would venture to guess that the new Chargers with unfamiliar electrical systems and Cummins Diesel engines must be giving them fits!

Date: 01/08/22 19:11 Re: 390 Cancelled - Charger Failure Author: goneon66 does anybody have any factual data regarding the charger's availability/failure rates?
66 Date: 01/08/22 19:45 Re: 390 Cancelled - Charger Failure Author: 2904 This one was the second charger failure on 390/393 this week. Availability rate is abysmal right now. It’s cold. Again. Typical anti siemens people? How about anti delay, anti poor customer service. That’s more like it.
