What lovely equipment! I hope I get a chance to ride along someday!❤ I take the Crescent line up to D.C. regularly, and our #20 train is a well seasoned lady! Busy little coach convoy, but boy do those cars need a good scrub. Can’t enjoy the view when there’s a film splattered across the window. Sometimes I get the urge to commit reverse-vandalism and give them a scrub myself!

You know what's sad...... They had those two beautiful unused Talgo trains that would have been PERFECT for this service.... .and they sold them off to Nigeria in favor of Siemens Venture cars that are apparently shoddy as F**k!!! I wonder how many kickbacks wete involved?!?

@@kevinwynott7755 The standards aren't about crash likelihood, they're about crash survivability and resistance to damage. Imagine if somebody pointed out that a car was pulled from the market for not having sufficient seat belt strength and you responded "well that crash wasn't caused by the seatbelts". That does not make sense.

The video would gain a lot by cutting out the first minute, or more. What a waste!!
