Chinese cars for the T
Posted by Buslist on Monday, December 5, 2016 11:21 PM

Happened to bump into someone that was over in China last week to look at the sample car structure for the T build. He said everything look great. We'll see if the quality extends to the new Springfield plant.

I also asked about his relations with the folks in Rochelle. He said they do some work there, quizzing him on the problems with the state corridor cars he shrugged his shoulders and said he can't figure it out and the NS folks don't seem to care.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
