Re: [CHICAGOTRANSIT] Re: lrv for chicago

Watching the Team Trim Trial in Le Tour (stage 4 in Montipellier) their light rail system came into play a number of times including at an interview at the start line which was right next to the tracks.  During that interview at least three sets came by.  It almost looked like those cars could have been Bombs but the middle section appeared to be as long as the outer sections.  Most of the cars were blue but one set was wrapped in a flower motive.   It also looked like they had a close headway as well.  When I have a chance I will check Bomb's site to see if they have a list of cities that use their LRV's.

By "our" I assume you are referring to the Twin Cities as Bomb builds lots of different types of LRVs. Any how those same basic cars are used in Cologne and London operating on curves similar to what would be required here (Chicago that is).
