Director of the Northern Berkshires Development Corporation][whose family roots lie in ship-builders in Bath 8 generations ago] brought in a few manufacturing reps from a company in Canada and we saw their product tested on the snow-covered access road up to the top of Mt. Greylock (3500_ feet). Notch Road… you can look it up. (It winds past the reservoir above Harriman Airport.) I think I still have a clipping. <br /><br />The company was Bombardier. The product was one of the first snowmobiles, a SkiDoo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Recreational_Products <br /><br />Bombardier Inc. - Wikipedia <br /><br />In 2005, it launched the Bombardier Zefiro high-speed rail, with speeds of 200-380 kilometres per hour, for the Ministry of Railways (China).<br /><br /><br />“… “Replacing old rail cars is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the Red and Orange Lines that include improvements to aging tracks, signals, and other infrastructure, with the goal of providing a first-class transit system that meets the needs of our customers.”<br />“We are very appreciative of the largest railway car manufacturing company in the world, CRRC, building their North American base right here in Springfield,” said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. “The creation of hundreds of good paying jobs, the spin-off benefits to our vendors, the linkage to our students at Putnam Vocational Technical Academy, Western New England University and the use of our labor unions’ workforce spreads the wealth. Also, I’m very thankful to Governor Baker, state and city officials for their continued belief and investment in our Springfield.”<br /><br />https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/rapid-transit/massachusetts-rail-car-manufacturing-return-next-stop-china/ <br /><br /> “Replacing old rail cars is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the Red and Orange Lines that include improvements to aging tracks, signals, and other infrastructure, with the goal of providing a first-class transit system that meets the needs of our customers.”<br /><br />“We are very appreciative of the largest railway car manufacturing company in the world, CRRC, building their North American base right here in Springfield,” said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. “The creation of hundreds of good paying jobs, the spin-off benefits to our vendors, the linkage to our students at Putnam Vocational Technical Academy, Western New England University and the use of our labor unions’ workforce spreads the wealth.
