 About Us

American Car and Foundry's Spanish Talgo Train was the first of the postwar lightweight streamlines. The Talgo set a standard for all other manufacturers as the race for new development began in the 1950s. The radical design concepts of the Talgo gave hope to the American railroads who wanted to turn the diminishing amount of passengers into a situation more in their favor.
