Siemens today announced that it has been awarded a $466 million contract to build 70 electric locomotives for Amtrak’s Northeast and Keystone Corridor lines as part of Amtrak’s landmark fleet rejuvenation initiative. The contract will require an additional 250 people to build the locomotives, with 200 in Sacramento, Calif. and 50 collectively in Norwood, Ohio and Alpharetta, Ga. The locomotives will be built at Siemens’ existing light rail manufacturing facility in Sacramento, Calif. The plant, which has been in operation for 26 years, is powered up to 80 percent by two megawatts of solar energy and employs 750 people. All main components of the new locomotive will be produced in Siemens plants in the United States – including the motors in Alpharetta and propulsion containers in Norcross, Ga. The first locomotives will be delivered in 2013. “As the global leader in rail innovation, we are thrilled that Amtrak has selected our proven locomotive technology and that this project will create 250 new green manufacturing jobs in the United States,” said Daryl Dulaney, president and CEO, Siemens Industry, Inc. “These locomotives will be built in America using renewable energy and provide cleaner, more efficient movement of people on the most heavily traveled rail route in the country.”

Americans suck. Get used to being second or third class. Long live the European mother lands from where American scum were kicked out! America is back to being a colony of Europe as is her proper place in the scheme of things. Was that too harsh?

You all collectively owe me and mine a lot of money. All these high speed rails and modern hospitals and clean beaches over here in Europe? Paid for by American bond money. But that is what colonies do. They enrich the mother land. I laugh. Americans don't even have the ability to launch men into space anymore. They need to use Russia. Let me know where I can send my European leather shoes for you to polish, peon.

I can see the spit flying from your mouth and the little wisps of steam piping our of your ears as you type your bile. First of all, you are not going to get the money you think you have coming. Get a job instead, welfare case. We kicked you Eurotrash out of the Western Hemisphere. You Euro-peons are stuck of Feudalism in looking to others to provide your means. No, you don't laugh. You are spitting nails in jealousy over not ever having been to the Moon. You never will, either. You can shove your shoes up your ass, punk.

Less Europeans in prison than Americans. Who is a nation of serfs again?

Europe is not a nation, stupid, no matter how hard you try to make it one. You Euro-peons are the serfs because your feudal governments have sold you down the river to the bankers and fascists inherent to Europe, the continent that gave the world two global wars, communism, fascism and body odor as a point of national distinction.

Who cares what the Limeys think. Their so-called conservatives make American liberals look sane. Plus, the BBC is a government run propaganda organ.

Nope. Not yet. As long as the $ reigns supreme. Portuguese bonds rated junk. Ireland up at the plate. Germany rejects solution Greeks agreed to last week. Tanks in Athens in weeks.

That's right, Destro. The EU is the Fourth Reich. Looks like Germany is trying to pull off without overt war what the Kaiser and Schicklgruber couldn't by aggression. At least you are admitting what I said before. Even if it is in a round about way.

I guess that's your sniffle of defeat, Destro. Europe = peons, hence Euro-peons.

France. The whole reason for EuroLand was to keep Germany harnessed to France. And nearly All of the Bailout $$$ went to European Banks. Because we sold them our CDO's... See Citigroup Bailout Nov 29, 2008 for details.
$466 million is being spent only on this portion of the rail system.

Have you traveled the industrialized world? America's infrastructure is mediocre.
"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
You only have relatively modern infrastructure is because of two world wars that swept away everything. If that's what it takes, you and Mussolini can keep your on-time trains, Euro-peon. What have you done for Europe's future modernization, Destro? Thrown any Molotov cocktails today?

Lot's of things. My Euro-company pretty much makes the steel that made the buildings happen even in America. I am pretty sure we even make panels of steel for your American mobile homes. Double wide.
