Colorado Railcar DMU's

[Kevin C. Smith]

The website for Colorado Railcar used to show floor plans of the single and bilevel cars. The site for successor company US Railcar does not. Does anyone know where I can find the floor plans (specifically of the bilevel DMU and trailer car)? At least, does anyone know the seat rake (spacing)?

If you google Relco DMU, the first two pdf files, have some info." Harrisburg-Pittsburgh..." has the latest brochure, while "DMU - US Railcar" has floor plans of a bilevel car. However, because they make everything to a customer's specifications, it could have a business class seat pitch of 40 inches or something tighter. US Railcar's DMU now has two Cummins tier 4 diesal engines for a total of 1500 hp with similar fuel consumption as the Detroit Diesal combo of 1200 hp,  and now with a highly regarded Allison transmission. A natural gas option is also possible. US Railcar under the helm of Jolene Molitoris, has teamed with Relco for manufacturing, and Ed Ellis and  Iowa Pacific  Holdings for operational expertise. Perhaps they will soon be making news and DMUs.
