		Talgo cars are used in the Amtrak Cascades services from Vancouver, British Columbia south to Seattle, Washington, continuing south via Portland, Oregon to Eugene, Oregon Amtrak Cascades consist in Portland, Oregon.
		Talgo trains may also change rail gauge by means of a special installation (variable gauge axles), for instance at the Spanish/French border.
		It is known that all vehicles, when travelling along a line or curved track, are naturally pushed sideways to the outer part of the curve which, in the case of railway vehicles, is translated into a tendency to lean outwards and for the carbodies to turn in the same direction.

	FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION : PASSENGER RAIL
		As a result of these increased speeds and the subsequent improvement in equipment utilization allowed by the waiver, the number of daily Talgo round trips along the corridor increased from two to three in May 1998, and trip times between the endpoints of Seattle and Eugene, Oregon were shortened by up to twenty minutes.
		Because of the dramatic increase in ridership and revenue that the Talgo service developed (an annual increase of over 30% for certain periods), the State took delivery of two custom-built Talgo trains (at $10 million each) in late 1998 for use in the Eugene, Portland, to Seattle segment of the Pacific Northwest Corridor.
		Amtrak purchased a similar Talgo train in 1998 which is operating between Seattle and Vancouver, BC, and expects delivery of another in mid 1999 to add a second daily round trip between Seattle and Vancouver, BC.

		Trains magazine’s Bob Johnston reports Talgo America is proposing to build 20 fast trains for the U.S. Passenger train builders are confronting a U.S. market in a state of suspended animation, according to the magazine.
		In early January, Talgo America sent identical letters to Amtrak and at least seven states with an offer to build and lease a minimum of 20 Talgo XXI trainsets.
		Talgo America CEO Jean-Pierre Ruiz would not comment on the letters, Johnston wrote, “interviews with state DOT officials confirmed” that the 12-car trainsets would include a bistro car and two diesel locomotives built by Siemens of France.

		Talgo is said to be the front runner for the proposed Midwest Regional Rail Initiative to bring 110 MPH service to 9 Midwestern states, but mainly because Talgo is hungry for the business.
		Talgo 200 has 2-types of end-car: 1-axle (other end rested on neighboring coach with axle) and 2-axle (neighboring coach with its axle on far end rests on it).
		Talgo says their newer design has only one type of end-car (1-axle), but they need 2 types of intermediate car (a 1-axle, and 2-axle to make the axle count come out right).

		Using Talgo train equipment on a train handling express cars would involve the higher cost of a Talgo trainset without the associated running time advantage.
		The travel time for the Talgo train (because of the higher speeds around curves) is 2 hours 16 minutes, 20 minutes faster than the conventional passenger train running time.
		As discussed earlier in this report, the use of Talgo trains for express service would not be cost-effective and may be prohibited by FRA regulations.

		Annual ridership in the corridor has jumped from just over 226 000 in 1993, the year before the first of two leased Talgos were placed in service, to 550 000 in 1998, an increase of 137%.
		Talgo was required to assemble the aluminum-bodied trains in Seattle because of a 25% 'Buy Washington' requirement attached to the WSDoT contract.

		Since Spain's rail tracks are of a wider gauge than those used for French trains (except for the TALGO and Trans-Europe-Express trains), you'll probably have to change trains at the border unless you're on an express train.
		The most comfortable and the fastest trains in Spain are the TER, TALGO, and Electrotren.
		In Paris it's worth the extra bucks to purchase a TALGO express or a "Puerta del Sol" express -- that way, you can avoid having to change trains once again at the Spanish border.

		AVE and Talgo trains, by their nature, do not stop very often: if somebody were to try to take your case, they could not take it off the train between stations.
		They could leave the train with your luggage, as a matter of fact I have heard of some cases, specially when the AVE stops in Puertollano and Cordoba.
		We took the TALGO from Madrid to Barcelona in May. We left our luggage unattended on the rack above our seats, as well as a book bag with a couple of digital cameras on our seats, when we went to the bar car and nobody bothered to take anything.
