Let us hope that the sudden "disinterest" in EV's does not mean Chrysler is out of options for future use of the Belvidere facility. I don't know that you can claim "disinterest" if there wasn't real "interest" to begin with... Pure electrics have always been more of a...
It certainly now appears that the Bears are going to stay within Chicago as today they are announcing that a new domed stadium is to be built immediately South of the existing Soldier Field. This is far from a done deal on the lakefront. Friends of the Parks are going to fight hard against somethin...
Sounds perfect for a RDC. Oh, wait.
I wasn't aware that contracts can't be renegotiated or that designs for construction that hasn't begun can't be changed. The moment federal funding gets involved (unless the original partners anticipated it), it will change things. Oh, I'm sure that Amtrak could buy out Renfe and WeBuild. And the J...
And what about Salini/WeBuild for construction and Renfe for operations? Those contracts are already awarded. Amtrak can't just step in and undo that unless the entity declares bankruptcy. But that's been the plan all along.... defraud the investors and then make taxpayers bear the final cost of a w...
Someone more knowledgeable in "Buy America" will need to explain how can Amtrak take the lead on what was a private project being underwritten by foreign consultants that was planning to use Japanese technology and rolling stock....

They couldn't find anything else, so they will scold them over procedure and attitude?

Those SD70s are workhorses... any word on why the Chargers were sidelined? A bad PTC box would prevent them from leading, but not from being MU'd. So dead in tow is an assumption, not necessarily fact.

That's why only critical or proprietary parts get escrowed.
Lights, brake lines and fan motors are a commodity you can somewhat easily work around with another provider's product. A truck frame casting or inverter control module, not so much.

Nah, no more need for "help" from Congress... It's already commonplace in procurements to require the design for critical parts and software to be placed into escrow, so if the OEM disappears, the purchaser still has some recourse to get replacements fabricated. Sent from my SM-S911U using...
And now someone in MEM is pissed their engine got loose....
