I had a few meetings but finally got to go through the slides. There's more info here than what was reported.
First, there's a "minimal ADA compliant double-level trainset":

Then a bigger ideal single level:

And bigger bi-level:

There's a few ideas that I'm thinking now given previous posts:
- Ether Amtrak took the proposed consists that the builders' catalog and did a mash-up...
- Or the procurement department didn't talk to a design department and they haven't figured out that they should talk to each other.
Still, makes me wonder about the various designs.
