Something is up with this order for all the cars to not be in service, it's getting ridiculous on Amtrak's part. From Facebook to here, I'll say what I always say. Fixed trainsets were not common back when Amtrak or even the railroads operated passenger trains in this country. So yes, passenger...

Part 3.

And here is another one from Roaming Railfan, part 2.

I don't know if this will be allowed on here, but for the past few weeks, NCRTC has been testing its new trains on the Delhi Meerut RRTS line, which is slated to open in March of this year. Here is a video of a cab ride on the test train, plus another video showing the exterior of the train as...

DB is getting these type of locomotives from Siemens to operate with their ICE L trains. I believe they'll be leasing them. They'll be temporary, due to the Talgo multi system locomotives being late for delivery. The ICE L trains are 235m long Talgo sets that'll have 17 cars. They'll be...

It doesn't surprise me the next generation of RER trains will have a combination of single level and double deck cars in the trainset. A lot of countries in Europe seem to be moving in that direction with new trains, whether it's Germany or Spain to name a few, they call such trains high...

Things like this are why I don't answer scam calls or any number I don't know. Always someone trying to ask for money or personal info leading to your bank account.

Dellner is a company in Sweden that produces couplers. It's similar to the Scharfenberg and is used on many multiple units in countries like in the UK and even the SNCF to name a few.

The intermediate cars of an 8 car Velaro set is 79' 3in. and the driving cars at either end are 84' 4in. We're looking at some really long sets that'll be at 202m long or 662' 8in long.

Older multiple units, I need to do more research into Dutch's older generation of multiple units. As for England, it was a matter of coupling the units up with a knuckle coupler (only for trains with electro pneumatic brakes), connecting the jumper hoses, and the train was off after a brake...

For high speed trainsets, 2 seems to be the usual number, although China Railways and Eurocity that operates international trains from England to cities in Europe using 16 car trainsets. Most railways in Europe, the max amount of trainsets controlled by the driver (what they call the engineer...

That is very true. I'm just going by what Brightline West has indicated they wanted, but yes trains of those sizes can be ordered. Granted, it would be really odd to see a three car train capable of doing 200+mph unless it's a test set lol.

Unless Brightline West has a change of heart, that's the available configuration with the Velaro Novas as presented by Siemens themselves. Either a 7 or 14 car set that train is available as per Siemens. They're basically an updated, lighter, and much faster version of a German ICE 4 train.

India's railways are incredible and they haven't stopped expanding their railways either, it's just the beginning. New railway lines are also electrified too. Like the Delhi Metro, the first line opened up 20 years ago and has since grown to have nine lines so far, have built 286 stations (and...

Another video from Roaming Railfan. He's posting almost daily now.

They have EMUs that can also operate on diesel power too, called DEMUs or Bi-Mode trains. Alstom I know mounts the diesel engines on the roof as seen for SNCF's Régiolis trains, which you can see for yourself in this video. No need to attach anything, switch to diesel mode and the train...
