Omg that’s awesome they’re getting closer

I get that the Avelia is a mixed bag, but please don’t start arguing about it in the comments. This is just a Railfanning video……….

Awesome video. Your content is amazing

Around noon, May 17. Heard from other foamers that it was a test train headed to what is likely NYP.

@streamlinedtransit Oh I see, that's awesome! Do you mind if I ask where do you get the info from? Also- I took the LIRR today and can confirm there's one Avelia sitting at Sunnyside Yard

@@cryorig_transit05 I just showed up with my friend to film. He’s not into trains but regardless we had a good time. I had no prior notice, lucky as hell tho. However, if u want the info I recommend joining Discord servers with largest bases of NEC foamers.

To all the naysayers, go back to your NJB doomer propaganda videos! We need more optimism.

THANK YOU.

I'm so sad for the U.S. and their poor train infrastructure. This isn't high speed. It's not even normal speed. The U.S. should have done better in the past 80 years.

I couldn’t agree more. What’s even worse is that they only reach their “high speed” of 150 in very certain parts of the corridor

...purely infrastructure; amtrak is subsidized by the Federal government; it bleeds losses in every sector it operates in except the northeast corridor, which is the only operating area that makes sense. Rail service in the USA is an expensive hobby.

Let Amtrak die. It's been trying to die for 50+ years. You aren't going to get true high speed rail on the NEC. That route was laid out in the mid 1800s and was built by several different companies. The "effort" in California should show you how astronomically expensive high speed through rural areas is, much less the dense east coast.

Hello from France. I'm like you and I don't understand what's going on. We have been talking about TGV in the United States for more than 20 years now. So I certainly agree with you on the fact that many lines are aging just like the northeast corridor. This project is badly born for me. A TGV is designed to run on dedicated tracks. The arguments of a TGV are 1000 passengers in a multi-unit configuration with a double-stage train and a cruising speed of up to 350 km/h (220 mph). Today in the current configuration, the Avelia will never be exploited to its full potential. He will have to live with regional trains and freight trains. In my opinion, there were other formulas to explore. Other cheaper trains could have done the trick. This is DIY. All this does not give a good image of Alstom. I can read it in the many comments dealing with the subject. Alstom is singled out and designated as solely responsible. I admit I'm a little angry with them. I'm trying to get information but I can't find anything. Does Amtrak have its share of responsibilities too? I don't understand. Alstom has more than 40 years of experience in the TGV. The first TGV in France inaugurated in 1981 ran for almost 40 years and not far from 15 million kilometers. Today The TGV M (cousin of the avelia but in double Deck configuration) continues its tests normally to enter service next year. In short, Alstom knows how to make trains...where is the problem?

@@gregomarsify Thanks. This is Alstom’s first time working exclusively with Amtrak first instead of working first with France. The problem is modeling the track of the NEC. They’ve got that solved for the TGV, but not for the NEC. So, they remain a feverdream for NEC locals like myself, hoping and praying eventually they enter service.
