Bombardier Transportation: Media Advisory - JetTrain High Speed Rail Locomotive Arrives in Florida ! MONTREAL, QUEBEC--OCTOBER 7, 2003 - 07:00 ET /T/ WHAT: The Bombardier(i) JetTrain(i) high-speed rail locomotive is coming to Florida. First stop, Miami, followed by Orlando. The Florida launch of Bombardier's game-changing technology will be christened by Champ Car driver Mika Salo, in Miami. Mika, who drives for the PK Racing team, is fresh from a weekend podium finish at Miami's exciting Grand Prix of Americas. This time, we will see how he looks behind the wheel of Bombardier's JetTrain locomotive, which features a different type of acceleration. With a jet engine placed in the heart of the JetTrain locomotive, it is the first non-electric high-speed rail solution designed for the American market. With top speeds exceeding 150 miles per hour, it offers passengers a new way to travel between cities every day in safety, comfort and speed. Bombardier is currently short listed with partner Fluor Corporation to design, build, operate and maintain Florida's first high-speed rail system that will link Miami, Orlando and Tampa. The Fluor-Bombardier proposal features JetTrain technology - the only FRA-compliant high-speed rail technology in the world.
