Alstom up and rnning at Mare Island, CA

[pebbleworm]

Alstom has started rebuilding Amtrak California cars at the old Mare Island Shipyard-apparantly the same building was used to asseble light rail cars for San Jose a few years ago. Hopefully this will actually turn into a permanent rail shop:

Let's just hope that they only do the work during the daylight hours. Otherwise this could turn out to be a real night-mare. :lol: :lol:

Someone should fix the spelling of Alstom. It is Alstom, and not Allstom. Alstom comes from Alsthom, which is a synthetic name arrived at by putting together the first part of Alsace and the first part of Thompson, a name that was invented when those two companies merged to form Alsthom.
