And of course the largest DD rolling stock of the lot are the formerly

ridden on them in Vancouver, but they were very generously sized. =A0I
hear some are used south of 49 too.


I've never ridden on those, but find Amtrak's Superliners to be
extremely comfortable and spacious.

I'm surprised the Russians don't have then considering their loading gauge
would easily support it.

Electrification height, maybe? Or just easier to have (very) long trains?

Finland has lots of big double-deckers.
