You sure you don't mean the Bombardier LRC? Talgo never had regular-rostered rolling stock in the U.S. before the Pendulars arrived. And I don't think they were ever one of the high-speed "X"-trial experiments on Amtrak.
Their website's "About Us" section also says Amtrak briefly tested something from them Boston-NY back in 1988. Was that non-revenue only, because that trial eludes most of the online write-ups about the various passenger-carrying "X" trials on the NEC from that era?
