Gonna be great when my grandkids ride them! (After they retire)

We have 2-3 sitting in storage in the WNY&P yards in Olean, NY. Pretty weird to see them there. Makes me think of a world where high speed passenger trains never left the old Erie rails.

Looking forward to seeing these trains in service

Acela needs their own tracks

I can't wait for these to become the new face of Amtrak. The American passenger rail renaissance is upon us, my friends. Giddy up on the iron horse, y'all.

To make rail travel viable we need to reduce car dependence from the dumb suburbanite carbrains.

Cool

Why are the car numbers of the loco different in height from the track than the adjacent passenger carriages

How did u find out about it

Looks like Siemens made the rolling stock rather smooth. Beside being ginormous, the windows look rather flush to the body shell, as do the doors. I don't see a lot of trim or ports hanging outside the shells and motors. The lower drag be advantageous if they could really open up. As somebody below said, Acela needs dedicated track.

The current Acela trains reach 241 kph in two different sections of track, maybe 2% of their entire route. These are supposed to be able to reach 257 kph. Typical speeds are around 200 kph. Average speed from DC to Boston is around 115 kph. So definitely not high speed rail by international standards.

@@MichaelfromtheGravesBut the Majority of the NEC is 125 mph/201 KMH & It’s not high Speed rail if it runs from NYC - New London. Trust me I’ve rode the NEC for 5 Years from Philly to DC Of NYC & I’ve seen the Acela go 125 More than half of the time especially between Philly - NYC & Once The bridges & Tunnels are Replaced & Rebuilt Then It will be harder to Justify it as Higher Speed Rail & They’ll probably add 160+ section Between Baltimore - Susquehanna River

@@TheRailwayDrone If they keep it up then yes, absolutely. They're already asking for bailouts from the government and a few local French cities were pressured into ordering Alstom equipment to keep them afloat. Over the last 5-ish years Alstom has delayed, gotten cancelled, or otherwise screwed up every single one of their contracts. I don't know what the heck is going on in there, but it ain't good.

The great thing about the Shinkansen is not their just their speed,mas it' pretty standard aand even beloww astandard. Most full HSR do 186 mph, a few line, ike one line in Japan or another in France allow 200 mph and in China and the new line in Indonesia they reach 220+ mph. There are also quite a few lines/sections in Japan with speeds lower than 186 mph. The main advantage in Japan is the reliability and the frequency that makes it so doos.

With all this so-called testing being done, there shouldn't be one flaw once it is in service!

Is it just me, or do the new Acelas bear more resemblence to the Amfleets while the Airos bear more resemblance to the old Acelas?

They've been "testing" for years now.

Yeah, but it won't get to go at high speed unless a brand new high speed track is built for it. And I can assure you that in the US, capitalism has thoroughly coerced all the relevant authorities away from such an idea.

@StefanWithTrains3222

A whole lot of high-speed sections will open up by 2035 and 2037, making around 30-40% of the NEC 160mph+ enabled. The rest will hover around 110-125mph. This makes the Acela services (which it already is according to international standards) high speed rail.

​@@StefanWithTrains3222 Exactly! You've got the new Hudson tunnels, the new Baltimore tunnels, dozens of bridge replacements, huge swaths of track projects. They're even trying to jam some HSR improvement projects through some of the more hostile NIMBY areas of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Amtrak now has Andy Byford leading its HSR programs as well and he won't accept the previous ploddingly slow pace of Amtrak projects.
