Phil,
Thanks?for posting this.? Quite fascinating to watch the video.? I had ridden the BLS into Interlaken in 1984 and that remains as quite a stand-out memory for me.
The cost of these trainsets must have been measured against the prohibitive cost of attempting to change all of the station platform heights and track gauge for one of the two lines, I expect.??
Hard to believe that this has moved forward to production and implementation.
(This morning was also the opening day for the MBTA Green Line Extension (GTX) project in Boston, with a standing-room-only first departure at 4:45AM in the snow -- and the GTX opening is a year behind schedule for this something-like $2.9 billion project to
add five more stations to this light rail line.)
