Front end bears a resemblence to the old Amtrak Rohr Turbos witha hint of the MPI MP40 as well. I'm a big fan of passenger rail as a transport solution and the DMU could well be the answer to the US's much-needed transport problem. This sort of thing is well-and-truly overdue!

Congratulations Bill, thanks for your story.

Despite all the hoopla sounding TriMET and Colorado Railcar, those are some slick looking units.

Nice photo and story. I live in Beaverton, OR and have been watching the test runs of these cars just a few minutes from my house. This coming Friday, WES will be offering free rides on a first-come, first-serve basis. A friend and I plan on riding the first one out from Beaverton down to Wilsonville. And I'll take photos. Thanks Bill.
