Last week’s Friday Night Multimedia Extravaganza can be found here.
The air travel meltdown coming, too bad it doesn’t hit areas without alternatives. Ironically it looks like Amtrak is doing ok so far, but the situations that insulate them during shutdowns hasn’t been tested this long. If Amtrak does suspend a few routes, my guess will be the LA-New Orleans Subset Limited, still on the Tri-weekly schedule pre-Amtrak. Trains that run under 750 miles are state supported, a rule that almost killed the DFW-OKC Train this year.(It’s why I believe that Section 209 of the PRIIAA of 2008 needs a review.)
Been observing this process, but doubt it can happen here. In Europe, passenger rolling stock tenders, whether by incumbent national operators or local/regional authorities that tender regional services as part of the EU’s Rail Liberalization Plan, can be very lucrative. It’s become a tradition for the losers to sue, but cost alone isn’t the criteria for award, as the competing tenders are scored on technical aspects too. Recently happened with SNCB/NMBS in Belgium, PKP IC in Poland, and looks to be happening with SBB and the Zurich S-Bahn. Although for Stadler’s, losing a contract with the National operator in the largest city in their home market, has got to hurt. They do have the emerging North American commuter/regional market plus Sunday contract in Atlanta, and Light Rail in Salt Lake City, where their US Factory is located.
