I wonder if Siemens might be the frontrunner (over Alstom and Stadler) to eventually win this contract due to the fact that they are already building numerous Venture coaches for Amtrak.
So what you are implying is that the bilevel replacement is essentially already paid for?
And of the following rolling stock manufacturers, (Alstom, Siemens and Stadler), who do you think is most likely to both win and receive the new fleet contract?
