What is all the sustainability and equity and inclusion crap talk all about?? What people want is good quality, on time, reliability regardless of weather, etc. I'm frankly concerned their questionable priorities will compromise the quality and functionality of the new system. Oh by the way, while Siemens is known to be a highly reputable corportation completely capable of doing the job, it IS a German Company. While the train sets and supporting infrastructure will be made in the USA all the profits will go directly out of the country. Does the US lack the manpower with the skills and competence to upgrade our own infrastructure?
Yes, we do lack the prowess and proper manpwoer to do these things... Why? Several reasons 1) We have been closing trade-oriented high schools and focusing on pushing college post-graduation, ultimatley leading to 1:4 gap in replacement for existing trade-related jobs. 2) We have not properly invested in our countries infrastructure for the last 30+ years. The 30-year gap in knowledge how sign-handled forced us to seek companies that have reliably done similar work; most of the time those companies are outside of the US. 3) We constantly view public transit as a business rather than a service to citizens. Public transit should not aiim to "make money", it should be there for the very reason you pointed out. Reliability, low cost, and ease of us. I would argue sustanability comes from the simple fact that a train load of people has a significantly lower environmental inpact than the equivilent amount of cars for said people.
SOLVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AMTRAK PROBLEM. THE UNIONS. THEY ARE WAY TOO STRIONG AND EMPLOYEES TRY TO LOOK BUSY MOST OF THE TIME. GETTING PAID FOR 8 WHEN WORKING 3-4 NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. POOR MANAGEMENT, LACKING SIGNIFICANT UNION PROBLEM SOLVING EXPERIENCE HAS PLAGUED AMTRAK SINCE INCEPTION IN 1971. TRY VIA RAIL IN CANADA. AWESOME AND A COMPLETE UPGRADE VS AMTRAK.
Unions are a big reason we pay too much for most things. Blue collar jobs paying outrageously high wages under the threat of work stoppages. That is exactly what opened the door for the foreign auto manufacturers in the US. Unions had pushed the manufacturers to the point where they were essentially selling the American public poorly built and unreliable gigantic gas guzzling pieces of junk. Profits were going to the workers rather than making a better product. Those are the facts. Datsun and Toyota got a foothold and the rest is history. The teamsters are the modern mafia IMO.

I think people are just becoming sick of air travel and all its drawbacks..I hope trains are back and growing strong again !!
Man, that AI certainly worked its AI butt off in the creation of this video.
Amtrak cascades will be getting the Airo set first being delivered for testing in 2025 and then going into revenue services in 2026
AS USUAL FROM AMTRAK. LONG ON PROMISE AND SHORT ON PERFORMANCE. I HAVE TAKEN EVERY ONE OF THEIR TRAINS BUT TWO.
Turn off the cap locks buddie. You’ll seem less deranged….
@@upstatepiano No, let him keep going. It's entertaining.
Great video, good script.
Bold leap, cutting edge. Geez. Get rid of AI.
It sounds like a "woke" DEI propaganda video.

Gad, I'm getting sick and tired of these lazily made, bad AI narrated videos.
