[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bigboy4015 True in former times but today ? Neee!! The RR market is a worldwide business! Alsthom and Bombardier have plants in Europe and USA / Canada. EMD sells a lot of Engines to Europe in the last years (Germany, Netherlands and UK) (...)[/quote] Well, there are here still more new European locomotives on the tracks than new American locomotives. Yes, the EMD Class 66 is very popular, but mainly amongst small companies. And Bombardier bought European train builders. That doesn't make their products American. Of course, the train business is a global business. But it has always been that way in a sense, starting with British steam engines for the US in the 19th century. And the engines and freight cars from the US Army, left here in Europe after WW II. One of our most beloved engines is an American design. But generally speaking, I think that you can say that the US and Europe have their own trains. Unfortunately.
