China Is Eager to Bring High-Speed Rail Expertise to the U.S.

[Messino]

Chinese craftsmenship = CRAP, thats why thell never make a car that can be sold in America. Their standards are garbage grade. Look at what happened to Toyota when they had parts made in Chinda.. Now they have to pay fines and recall their vehicles.

 

They want to bring their boot leg,imitation, rip off expertise here so that way in a few years it brakes and kills people. They steal everything they have.

 

The Chinese are proud of being shrewd rats..

Bombardier already has 2 plants in the northeast

 

Barre,Vermont USA

Plattsburgh NY USA

 

Honestly is that really enough , we need at least 5 , and Siemen's , aswell as Rotem , and Talgo , lets face we are the only region that is fast tracking its plans for Restoration and Expansion of the Transit systems. And those plants would reduce the cost for imported Vehicles and Parts.

True,but no American company want to venture into that industry.There is a lot of money to be made here on rebuilding Americas railroads,which is why China wants in on it.The Japanese,French and Canadians are here so to them why not.And realistically look how all the American Manufacturers folded.Its either money or shoddy products.E.g

 

 

Pullman standard-folded 1981-1982

Cause:R46 Rockwell Truck failures/Corruption/Various tech Issues

 

St Louis Car Company-folded 1973

Cause:Finacial losses due to the R44 order,Numerous technical bugs.Basiaclly losing money for every car built

 

Budd company/Transit America-Aquisition 1987-1988

Took on one last American order before being brought out by the Germans.

 

Oh And Morrison Knudsen is gone too

 

It may be a while before we get a serious US maufacturer again:(

Forget about any American Companies , have you noticed have terrible we make products lately. Siemen's needs at least 1-2 plants ,Talgo could build a plant , Rotem can build a plant ,Bombardier can build 1-3 more plant's. But we will need them to offset the growing demand for Transit and Rail products.

Unfortunately Bombardier had to close a plant or two over the years.Oe would be Bombardier`s Auburn NY Plant.I dont think Bom is expanding here anytime soon.Kawasaki is getting in this year and they have two plants in the U.S and I think they are due for another plant.I said in the regional thread that Hyundai-Rotem should put more bids out here rather than just takin Philly,As well.Other companies like Tokyu rail car and Kinkyu-Sharyo should throw in bids for cars.Especially for Amtrak.

Especially for Amtrak.

IDK, Boston could use some new cars.
