They bought these trains because they’re FRA approved and the plant is just winding down from the Brightline order. As soon as the RFP/RFQ went out, Brightline was the first thing that popped into my head...
I’m glad we got a custom nose, but everything else is standard, already proven, and available fast. This is a very adult and “brown trousers” move, and while the new trains won’t have any emotion that the Turbo or LRC has (Canadian icons), it’s the only choice that made perfect sense. Bombardier would have taken years to custom design new trains to meet the spec.
