The bank refused, even after MTA offered to pay more than what Amtrak was/is paying for them.Backshophoss wrote:Who's rebuilding the MARC Hippo's? BBD??I would assume Bombardier or Alstrom (or both, because both built the Hippos the begin with). From an initial search, I think MARC is the only railroad running the Hippos.
Just a guy who rides the train way too often and is kinda good with numbers.
