Good God . . . did somebody on this forum really use the term over-engineered to describe the SPV? Having been a rail commuter in the territory where and when they were used when in regular service, I can speak all too knowledgably of the total lack of engineering care that was expended on the design of this most horribly abysmal of machines.
In fact, about the only practical use these rolling pieces of junk could be put to was as examples for engineering students on how to do everything wrong.
Of course I suppose one could legitimately make a case that this disctinction has now been passed on to the Acela trains.
