They did a great job for hard working from Siemens Mobility at Sacramento, California.

They look great, but I must say I’m not fond of the dark gray. I think they would look better if they went for a bluer tone.

I'm sure given a decade it will look dated and get redone.

What are the white spots on the leading wheel of each bogie?

[@dbyers3897]

It might have made it easier to see if the drive wheels were slipping during testing. Other than that, I've no idea.

So sad to see Bombardier's bailout go rolling by.

[@Christin5554]

they don't even look like Siemens trains.

[@gdrriley420]

this is how they all look in NA, Chargers and venture cars (based on Viaggio Comfort). we may see some pulled by ACS-64 which are EuroSprinters modified for US market

Is it not ironic that, after the rise of the car dominant culture at the expense of trains, they reverse is now happening. The original, and by far the best way of travelling any distance, is by train. And now that mode is emerging as part of the solution to the problems of climate change.
