Comments on: It seems like forever that we have been studying, researching and talking about higher-speed rail, and here’s more proof. CP Rail hosted the X2000 train-set along many of its lines in 1993. Here she is shown at Toronto Union to be introduced to the press and other invited guests. She was pulled by an Amtrak F40 seen at the far end. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
