An Amtrak "Cascades" TALGO train is completing its run from Seattle, Washington to Portland, Oregon. An F40PH diesel locomotive leads one of the two TALGO Pendular 200 SETS brought to the U.S. for evaluation. Their success caused Amtrak and the State of Washington to order five new tilting sets from Pacifica Marine of Seattle, built under license from the Spanish company Patentes TALGO SA. 1996 Photo by Thomas McCann (USA) (mediabymccann@att.net)
