[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Ed Ellis posted this comment on T.O.: "Thursday March 19 Iowa Pacific hosted inspection of rolling stock selected for the Hoosier State. Approximately 30 people in total attended, including representatives of Amtrak, FRA, Indiana Department of Transportation, the City of Lafayette, Trains Magazine and of course Iowa Pacific. FRA provided feedback as the inspection went along, and will provide a written report. The Amtrak representatives told us they were unable to provide feedback. Hopefully they will provide INDOT with a report. Amtrak did inform us that they have inspection standards for this rolling stock that are different from private car standards. INDOT has asked Amtrak to provide the standards, but it appears that whatever standards Amtrak inspected to on Thursday have not yet been provided to the State, let alone the results of the inspection." Regarding this last item, Ellis quoted the FRA regulation that states one car per train must be ADA accessible: "A question was raised about ADA accessibility. This consist has one accessible car, which is set up with wheelchair stanchions and an ADA restroom." [/QB][/QUOTE]
