Cool to hear about a CSX unit on Amtrak Cascades; however I have my doubts that the train was going " 80 MPH ". Most freight units are geared to haul freight ( duh ), which limits them to a top speed of 65 MPH. Unless it was one of CSX's ex - Amtrak F40PH units of course...
The hidden beauty of the Talgo trainsets is their on-board HEP generators, which does allow them to be pulled ( or pushed ) by virtually any locomotive with MU capabilities.
