The IC3 is a Danish-built high-comfort medium/long distance diesel multiple-unit train. The sets were built by ABB Scandia (later purchased by Adtranz, which itself was subsequently acquired by Bombardier Transportation). The name indicates simply that it is a three-car InterCity trainset. In 1996, an Israel Railways IC3 was tested in North America under the name "Flexliner." Amtrak used it on the Hiawatha, the San Diegan and also between Eugene and Portland, Oregon; VIA Rail Canada tested it for services on the Windsor–Québec corridor. The IC3 is seen here operating as San Diegan #570, making a station stop in Fullerton on the afternoon of July 28, 1996.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
The worst of railroad design. Please, send me your entries / suggestions for the "Album of the ugly trains of the world" (past or present, paint scheme or shape).
