<p>[quote user="Brian_Tampa"] The Midwest cars won't be as good as they could have been due to IDOT choosing loose cars. [/quote]</p> <p>The cars will be basically the same but different in details because of different specifications.</p> <p>On Brightline trains the cars are semi-permanently coupled with a SC44 Charger at each end. IDOT trains will be conventionally coupled.</p> <p>According to Siemens the Brightliner coaches are designed to be equipped alternatively with knuckle couplers.</p> <p> </p> <p>From my German experience with ICE HSP trains and loose car HSP trains the different kind of connection doesn't make any difference.</p> <p>Different track can make a great difference.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
