Amtrak has to follow a "But American" rule.  Siemens and Amtrak took a page from 
the Defense Department, and spread the jobs on some major components around. 
They're "manufactured" at Siemens' factory in Florin, California; traction and 
electrical equipment being manufactured at Siemens facilities in Norcross and 
Alpharetta, Georgia; Traction inverters are manufactured in Alpharetta, and the 
traction motors and gear units are manufactured in Norwood, Ohio

That Amtrak work is being spread around as much as possible, the Fossil Fuel 
people in Congress are more desperate than ever to kill Amtrak.

Cheers,
Jim
