Colorado Public Radio news covered the official visit, focusing on Polis' efforts to bring passenger rail service to the heart of the state. The train car, manufactured by Stadler, is part of FRA's and ENSCO's drive to research and test alternative fuel sources for ground transportation.
Pueblo, Colorado, where TTC is located, was recently highlighted as a leader in renewable energy in a Colorado Newsline article. ENSCO Modernization Manager Ruben Peña discussed the global attention the center attracts.
“Last week, I hosted people from the Czech Republic. This week, we have a whole bunch of people from Switzerland,” he told a Colorado Newsline reporter. “We had a contingent from Brazil two weeks ago.”
As the operator of TTC, ENSCO is leading the charge in Pueblo to reimagine the world’s transportation network. ENSCO assumed management of the FRA-owned testing and training facility last fall.
