Virgin Trains in America?

It is essentially the case that the two situations are very different and I think most would agree on that. I think the starter was wishful thinking on the poor passsenger side of things over there. Freight is the thing there and passengers will remain the corner here.

Uh, I just saw a picture of what you were talking about. The Pendolino is far from ugly. I'm just saying.

I agree. I'd love to see some of those racing between Boston and Washington! Keep them in the yellow and red paint scheme too. It makes them look more awesome!

And if you've been hanging around this country long enough, you know the ugly truth.
There are no Virgins!

We are too naive, innocent or maybe jealous?!

Soo... Double the cost of a single-tracked line?

Well, why not do it at least in the parts where there is high traffic only? It can't be too expensive to add another track on relatively level terrain, and CN can afford that.

I hink the BR Class 390 Virgin Alstom Pendolino is actually quite CUTE!

to reply to steamboateng, there is a virgin pendolino train set in the content creators pack in TS 2012:EE. I used it but to my dissapointment, only the cab unit tilted, the rest of the carriages just stayed completeely level.
