Venture Cars?

[edit]

According to Siemens' own website, these trains are called Venture rail cars. How should this affect the article? --Rckania (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I’m not sure how to go forward with that. The Siemens Mobility website clearly identifies the trainsets built for AAF/Brightline/Virgin Trains USA as Siemens Viaggio Comfort. It could be that Siemens USA (who runs the site Rckania linked to) decided they needed a more US English friendly marketing name (just a guess on my part). I wouldn’t suggest any major changes, yet. Clearly this is one family of trainsets with perhaps two names. --RickyCourtney (talk) 20:45, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside, “Viaggio” is the Italian word for “travel” which I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t know until I entered it into Google Translate. I am a speaker of US English... and if I am at all representative of other US English speakers... that could be why Siemens USA did the name change. --RickyCourtney (talk) 21:01, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
At this point, it may just be a wait-and-see situation. It'll probably get much clearer once the Amtrak cars enter service. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:24, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article should be split regardless, the North American spec version has a different history, different dimensions, different top speed, and (possibly) a different name. We can include the connection to the Siemens Viaggio in the History and/or Intro sections of the new Siemens Venture (or Siemens Viaggio (North America)) article.Reaperexpress (talk) 01:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If another split does occur, the article could look something the article for the EuroSprinter, where all the different versions and derivatives are listed, including the Amtrak Version. However, I do not think the article should be split, at least not yet. One article keeps things more simple. Rckania (talk) 18:26, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rckania, RickyCourtney, and Reaperexpress: I have created Draft:Siemens Venture in order to split out all information regarding the North American cars to that page. It's a very rough draft right now, but it's getting there. Any help would be appreciated. – Jadebenn (talk · contribs · subpages) 00:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I appricate the effort, but still think we should wait-and-see before moving any further. --RickyCourtney (talk) 00:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
