Yes, we all got that except Empty Pockets. Quotes from people thinking like him are why stupid people perpetuate errors. Look through history wiht EMD, Pullman-Standard, American Car and Foundry, ALCo, et. al. You'll read about small carriers coming together buying and then dividing lots. Anyone who knows about large scale equipment purchasing knows the price is far more acceptable when others pool thier orders.
And, yes thanks for pointing out the grossly misleading high speed jack-off. These are conventional cars, built right here in America by your fellow Americans, for use on American common carriers to move Americans around our great American countryside. They will be fully consist-compatible with any high-level equipment in use by Amtrak.
Do you get my point?
