    That’s crazy. Bombardier used to be a massive Canadian company and now it’s nothing. Good luck to whoever is buying it. They were 10 years late making streetcars for Toronto.

    One less player in the railway industry. They've made pretty nice lineups including some of my personal favorite trains

    Alstom didn't stop building bombardier trains, just like the A220 they continued assembling their trains
