 I am curious on the new FRA recommendations for ADA on bi-level intercity cars that I thought Amtrak abandoned in favor of Siemens.     Are they giving it another shot?

Monthly july 31 report ) with a list of items of interest.  Found Acela-2 unit 2 testing is waiting for unit 1 to complete testing and then test monitors will be sent to unit #2.  51 Siemens cars either bult or being constructed.  Many other items.
