An X 2000 trainset toured the United States in 1993 on lease to Amtrak. It was used for a few runs on the Northeast Corridor between New York City and Washington, DC, and was taken around the 48 continental states for demonstration stops at significant stations. It also toured parts of Canada.[1]
In 1995, CountryLink (the regional operator in New South Wales, Australia), hired three X 2000 cars for evaluation purposes, being one driving trailer, one bistro car and one first class car. The trains were towed in a push/pull operation by two modified XPT power car/locomotives, numbered XP2000 and XP2009 and were in service from Sydney to Canberra for two months, from 23 April to June 18, 1995.[2]
China also purchased a X 2000 train named 'Xinshisu' (New Speed). The train served as Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train on the Guangshen railway from 1998 to 2007. It was delivered to Sichuan Province in August 2007. However, due to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Chengdu Railway Bureau needed to rebuild the railway networks in Sichuan Province. Also, the authority could not carry the maintenance costs of the train. It was therefore returned to Guangshen Railway Company Limited in late December 2008.
