Last October, Siemens unveiled a mock-up of its Velaro high-speed trainset at a Tampa museum. The machines run in sets for eight - two locomotives and the rest revenue cars. Siemens will be one of several contestants for the contract to build trains, and in prtnerships with Skanska USA Civil, will offer a design and build concept, as will several other bidding factions.
