<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>Found this:</p> <p><span>"AMD-103 "Genesis":1993-$2.3 mil each-52 units"</span></p> <p>and</p> <p>"Anyway, according to an article of Trains magazine (Oct. 2002, page 33) the author pegs the cost of P42 locomotives at "about $2 million each", although I suspect that the figure is closer to the $2.3 million that Genesis indicated for the AMD-103s.</p> <p>The author also says that an Acela Express trainset costs $35 million."</p> <p><span><br /></span></p> <p>here: <a href="http://www.railforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/11/2107.html">http://www.railforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/11/2107.html</a></p> <p>I think you could ratchet the AMD-103 cost up by inflation to get a good, usable price for the P42s. They are near twins. [/quote]</p> <p>This was helpful. Thanks for the reference.</p>
