But who wants to visit Charlotte?
jk
An improvement over the current site, wait to see where light rail goes and if it connects to the station and airport, which is also in the process of expanding, and the canopy being installed over pickup/ drop off.
CLT is kind of under the radar on transit, but lots happening

So what's in Phase 1 vs later phases?
It's kinda hard to get data about this project since it seems largely reported in local news only.

>>1873657
The Piedmont train that will stop there also uses refurbished actual 1950s rolling stock!

now you need some electricity on the tracks and rolling stock from this century and a station building and a roof for the platform and a bit of landscaping and you have yourself a train station!

Nothing. It's probably the largest city in the US that has yet to develop any coherent identity or culture.

That's why I love living near it. I'm in a rural area 30 minutes from a big city center, and the city's identity cuts off as soon as you leave the suburbs.

Only retarded Euros let Bombardier, Siemens and Stadler fuck them over with overpriced equipment needing overpriced "maintenance checks" and breaking down right after the guarantee period.

This plus it tries too hard to be like a smaller Atlanta while at the same time trying to pretend it's a liberal northern city

Test trains often use older engines. Why wouldn't they, provided the engine is maintained?

Why spend money on a brand new locomotive right from the start?
You can go 2nd hand and save cash to help start the service up, then buy better stuff later.

>>1877224
The difference in body shape between the locomotive and cars irks me.
