“Demand for new rail cars is growing in other U.S. cities.  We’ll aim to satisfy the need for replacements in those places as well.”-Iwasaki Hiroji, Kawasaki Executive Officer

U.S. taxpayers have just updated the metro rail system in Washington DC, with train cars made in Japan!

Kawasaki Heavy Industries delivered several new cars to the Greenbelt station in Maryland, in a ceremony in which U.S. officials did not directly mention the Japanese connection.

The cars’ major components were made in Japan, then shipped to Kawasaki’s final assembly factory in Lincoln, Nebraska.  There was a time when U.S. industries could have handled the task, but not anymore no-thanks to unAmerican Corporate America outsourcing jobs overseas!

Kawasaki officials claim some of the Japanese cars were 100% built in their Nebraska factory.

The Washington Metro Area Transit Authority has ordered 528 Japanese rail cars, at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of $1.1-billion USD!
