Talk:JetTrain

That's all?
I was on the VIA from Toronto to Montreal and had a discussion with the conductor. He mentioned that the tracks are signed to 100 MPH, but the trainset has been tested out to just over 160 mph. It seems surprising that a train with another 2,000 hp would have less speed. Is the 150 mph number in this article correct? Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, a little poking about and it's clear that the conductor was FOS. 110 MPH is what it can make. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:13, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * What I'd heard was that VIA's latest locomotives have a top speed of about 160–170 km/h. Either way, the point is well taken that there's no point investing in expensive new trains until we're prepared to built tracks that at least allow the current ones to fulfil their potential. (The 150 mph speed for the JetTrain is definitely correct, and in fact quite impressive for non-electric equipment. In Britain, which is the only country using diesel for anything seriously high-speed, they top out at 125 mph.) David Arthur (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Where is the Jettrain today?
According to non-wikipedia-quotable sources the Jettrain is sitting in TTC Pueblo CO. Pechristener (talk) 02:32, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Dead Links
Bombardier (Formerly Canadair) has pulled all references to the JetTrain from its website. Unfortunately, most of the references to this article are based on datasheets from there. Somebody please find cached webpages somewhere so that these links can all be updated!Tiktok4321 (talk) 14:01, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
