Yes, two for Wisconsin and two for Oregon.

Wisconsin's pair are sitting at the now-shuttered Talgo assembly plant in Milwaukee. Our governor's administration and his fellow Republican politicians have refused to spend the money necessary to even have the trainsets tested, or to construct the maintenance facility that would have been needed to keep them in service, and possibly even to have paid Talgo for it's work building them. It's all very messed up, hence Talgo suing the State right now.
