Consider also that the Euros are scared pantsless that the Chinese are catching up to them in the passenger train market. By car numbers, the Chinese have surpassed them quite a bit. It's a crummy inferior product, but that can change. Right now the Chinese are doing a bad job of assembling others' components, like MTU and Cat prime movers, Siemens and Mitsubishi propulsion packages, etc... and they're missing some important stuff. But you build so many thousands of cars, and you get better... They have a domestic prime mover and propulsion, and they'll sell it to us when it gets better.
They're also know for low-balling bid jobs to put others out of business. Then they loan the money to buy the cars, then they show up with terribly inferior product.
Oh by the way, you still owe us for that junk...
Check out this picture linked below. It's Escalada, the biggest Argentine backshop in the country. It's in the south suburbs of Buenos Aires. This pic is about 1/5 of the entire place. Its like a Beech Grove but twice the size.
The blue cars in the center are all MU's in a dead line or seriously broken. They're all 2013 build date. That sucks. The prior Toshiba cars lasted from 1980 and some are still running.
