[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] Interesting news, but the numbers don't quite add up. On December 17, 2017 there were 7 trainsets in operation (5 @ Series 6 and 2 @ Series 8). The crashed set was a Series 6. The two Series 8 trainsets are supposedly compliant with all FRA crashworthiness standards while the four remaining Series 6 trainsets are going to be withdrawn. If WSDOT is going to order 3 new trainsets, they will only have 5 total trainsets. That's enough for the current schedule, but not enough to add the 2 additional trips between Seattle and Portland. So, either WSDOT is planning to stick with the existing schedule or they are planning to add the WI Talgos and add the 2 additional trips. [/QB][/QUOTE]
