Quantify how I know what, that I'm a Bombardier fanboy? That's unquantifiable. I don't know why I like milk or the colour grey. I just do. In my opinion, Bombardier makes the best trains out there. In my opinion, Toyota makes the most reliable cars. In my opinion, HUSS makes the best flat rides. etc...
Quote:For those who still wonder who drives the train at Bombardier: Their rail division book of orders is stagnant at $30B. Meanwhile it's aviation book of orders is $142B.
...and you know that planes cost like 2 orders of magnitude more than trains, right? How many planes vs. how many trains or rail vehicles do they have on the books? They might have like 20 planes on order but they have hundreds, if not thousands of rail vehicles in the works.

That area used to be employee/truck parking from what I can tell. It's now a staging area full of equipment, concrete pipes, and rails. It also has direct access to the existing rail lines.
Thanks - I'll have to check it out!
