We inquire as to if we can buy Acelas (the high speed AMTRAK train)

We will take 250 of your Soviet style nuclear rail cars (can you get the pic from Goldeneye for that) Money wired

Bump for sales.

I will post passenger cars and maybe some electric locomotives tomorrow.

I think Acela is diesel

no charge IDF.

I was looking for the Acela, I can find pics but its hard to find the specs. I will find them and alot of the passenger locomotives and passenger cars tomorrow after I get off work.

Acela is actually serving D.C to New York on the Northwest Corridor. Acela is a high speed electric locomotive running on the refixed Pennsylvania Electric Lines

the ACELA is electric. and by the way, do any of you know if Amtrak worked out all of the problems with it?

Supposibly, but they make more money renting track usage from Union Pacific and BNSF running the Sunset Limited and Southwest Chief then they do in the Northwest Corridor. The Corridor is loosing them money and putting Amtrak in more debt.

I heard the bugs are out of it. The problems are mainly due to a lack of much budget for AMTRAK. No one really rides their trains and their gov funding is being slashed when they need more security money.

I did ride it once from Portage, IN to Ann Arbor, MI.

I honestly believe the Acela should run the longer routes as that is where they need more speed.

deleted and added to main

IDF RR will reserve 12 Acelas for the flagship launch of the railroad. We will wire money upon price posting

-tag- for purchase when it's not so late.

The TFR National Railroad would like to reserve 10 Acelas for purchase once they come up for sale.

:)
So this is what Bobby Jindal does in his spare time!
I'm impressed.

I will certainly consider letting some of my bigger neighbor allies know of your fine offerings.

We are rather small at this point to consider anything but streetcars and trolleys. Whenever you can post those we would be most interested (particularly the one's running in your capital New Orleans on Canal Street)

Bobby -- Are you still making a run of Congress?
:wink: We'll be glad to support you!

Price of the Acela is posted above were the specs. are

I need 12 acela trainsets. money wired

50 SD70M

500 Box Cars

500 Refridgerated Cars

500 Tank Cars

600 Stock Cars


800 Gondola Cars

900 Flat Cars



that comes to around 145,000,000...but ill wire 200,000,000. just as a tip :)

the Swedish S2000 should be included too. and some Electric locomotives (like those "Crocidile" Locomotives used in Austria).

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150378

CPRC, the second NS railway company to be brought into existance, we have a website :P

anyways, i will be working in close co-operation with the Louisianna locomotive works in order to bring brilliant Railway/railroading systems and locomotives to all NS nations...


P.S you can see me for trackwork aswell as locomotives
