Replace Talgo cars with what?
Author: Hmm

What off-the-shelf cars can WSDOT find to replace the Talgo cars?

If wonder if there is a "buy America" clause requiring the cars be assembled in the USA. That would be typical state of Washington state nonsense.

Talgo Series 6 trainsets

WSDOT will work with Amtrak to follow the National Transportation Safety Board recommendation to remove the Talgo Series 6 trainsets from service as soon as possible. Amtrak is working with WSDOT to determine how to address equipment needs moving forward and how we’ll provide Amtrak Cascades service without the Talgo Series 6 trains. There are four Talgo Series 6 trainsets currently in service, two sets owned by WSDOT and two sets owned by Amtrak. Evaluating what alternative passenger equipment is available and how scheduled train service in the Pacific Northwest is affected will inform our next steps.
