trainset configurations
The CHSTP system definition has been developed around the premise that the system will procure a 400 meter trainset configuration capable of accommodating between 900 -1000 passengers, traveling at an operating speed of 220 mph. The trainset is to be an existing service proven platform that either currently operates at the desired CHSTP operating speed of 220 mph, or will be proven to operate in service at the desired speed prior to the start of CHSTP revenue service.
There are several trainset configurations that can potentially meet the CHSTP stated requirements. These configurations can be categorized as single-level trainsets utilizing power cars, multi-level (duplex) trainsets utilizing power cars, single-level distributed power electric multiple units and multi-level distributed power electric multiple units.
