I love how Michael Dukakis is saying our airports are a mess in 2000. Oh buddy, you have no idea that in just a couple of months the whole entire aviation industry in America will be turned upside down.

The way the Acela is introduced as it first pulled into Boston is the way every transit project in America should be welcomed.

Bless Dukakis. I hope we inaugurate the Avelias the same way

whenever i see the acela i just see it as just another express train but you gotta realize this train is history and so famous, it’s something we will never forget about

Pataki talking about how a modern Penn Station would be around the corner. Lord knows it took two more decades before the new train hall even got opened

18 years later, the Acela is still going strong. They should not be scrapped because they are Americas first bullet train

@@supermarionathan1426but avelia liberty is technically part of the avelia series of European TGV And the liberty model is an American version and fell in the Acela branding. So we have an American TGV that will assist in Acela service and beat metro liner time tables once more You can tell it’s a TGV because of how it’s arranged and it’s iconic and obviously horn

@@trainluvr The Acela sets can't run Northeast Corridors due to turns and a lack of steps. It would mess up the whole schedule to have some Acelas that couldn't operate when they had a Virginia turn.

This is the most American shit and we need more of it.

The Acela 22 years ago are better horns than the modern aveila liberty

If Acela's Current Retied In Next Few Years, I Hope Some Of Them Are Preserved Just Like First Shinkansen From JNR Era, & The Remaining Are Used As Special Train Or Moved To Indonesia & Changed It's Gauge From 1,435 MM (4 FT 8 1⁄2 IN) To 1,067 MM (3 FT 6 IN).

23 years ago a new train was buildet from Amtrak
