Talk:Bombardier BiLevel Coach

All Bombardier bi-levels?
Is this article refer to one specific design or all the bi-level passenger cars produced by Bombardier? --Will74205 08:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It referrs specifically to the products seen on this page: http://www.bombardier.com/en/1_0/1_1/1_1_3_1_5.jsp MrHudson 22:22, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Then it is right for me to remove NJT and MBTA from agencies that use this type of passenger car. Also, I think the Kawasaki bi-level passenger cars reference should also be remove from this article.--Will74205 01:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that would be a good idea. I didn't do it because I don't know NJT or MBTA well enough to make that determination. MrHudson

Kawasaki bi-level passenger cars
I like to get an opinion on whether we need an article for Kawasaki bi-level passenger cars. From what I know so far, Long Island Rail Road, MBTA, MARC, and VRE uses Kawasaki bi-level passenger cars. --Will74205 10:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that would be a good idea. MrHudson 03:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * However, considering that the page has changed (and the products are no longer shown), it probably would be wise to include the NJT (but not the MBTA) cars in this article.

"Lozenge cars"
Are these also called "lozenge cars"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.8.213 (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never heard the phrase myself, but it is a roughly accurate description of their (somewhat unusual) shape, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had come into use somewhere. David Arthur (talk) 13:54, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Bike racks
Some of the Bombardier coaches used by Caltrain (at least one per train, I think) have bike racks that accommodate up to 16 bicycles. Is that typical for Bombardiers, or is it unique to Caltrain? 75.101.11.20 (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Not all built in Thunderbay
Re: Bombardier BiLevel Coach. Back in 1979-1980 Bombardier built some bilevel coaches destined for the IC and which were subsequently inherited by Metra. These were built in Lapocatière, not in Thunderbay. Peter Horn User talk 17:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps confusingly, BiLevel is the name of a specific model of carriage, rather than just a synonym for 'double-decker'. The plant in La Pocatière has built (and, indeed, is still building) plenty of double-decker equipment including the EMU gallery cars you mention, but I don’t believe it has ever built BiLevels. The actual BiLevel is drawn by locomotives (though a self-powered version has been considered in Toronto), and can be recognised by its 'squashed stop sign' shape.

Redesigned Bilevels ordered by GO
This might be worth mentioning somewhere in this article: http://www.railwaygazette.com/nc/news/single-view/view/updated-bilevel-coaches-ordered-for-go-transit.html Fan Railer (talk) 20:20, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Top speed
Is there any specific top speed for these? Originals and aftermarkets vary? The Trinity Railway Express page seems to suggest the top speed of their bi-level coaches is 95 mph, though they have some stock that doesn't seem to reach that, so they may be just a standard top speed 79 mph top speed commuter system. B137 (talk) 07:39, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * I did a little bit of light digging and found this contract pdf from sunrail. on page 76 it says that the cars are designed for 103 mph and the normal operating speed is 95 mph. KingJames 66 (talk) 21:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
