| Two “sisters” of FLIRT: NSB 74503 (right) parked at Rorschach/Switzerland next to a SBB 522 202. It shows the production philosophy of Stadler Rail, to make customer oriented variants out of a standard line. An accident happened Feb. 15th, 2012, on test runs in Norway, as NSR 74505 went out of the track due to too high speed for the spot, see also Swiss TV http://www.videoportal.sf.tv/video?id=a93f5ee9-2b69-4512-b883-f53f773f393e . Over 600 FLIRT units run since ten years free of accidents. |
