What REALLY happened to the new INSANE Amtrak's Acela trains
According to a report from the Washington Post, the launch of Amtrak's next-generation Acela trainsets has been delayed until 2024. The delay is due to ongoing testing and computer simulations, which have identified issues, particularly with the train's wheelsets. This means that the new trains will be introduced at least three years later than originally planned, putting additional strain on the existing Acela fleet, which dates back to 2000.
It has been revealed that four of the 20 first-generation Acela sets have already been taken out of service. Furthermore, two Acela round trips between New York and Washington were removed from the schedule in May due to the need for additional maintenance on the Acela equipment.

As much as I want to blame Alstom, it’s really the northeast corridor… Until they work with the gateway project, the new Acela won’t reach their full potential.
2025 to 2040
There were delays in the first Acela sets in the early 2000’s before they finally made their first runs. It’s now early November, 2023 and 2024 is not far off.
the problem is, Alstom should never have embarked on such a project. TGVs are on dedicated tracks only. They will get an unjustified reputation. Siemens are going to show off with the Brightline....a new line completely dedicated to exploiting their trains to their full potential. Easy, Alstom has been doing the same for over 40 years in France. Short....
I just hope every train doesn't smell like weed like they all do in California.
When next spring rolls around, don't be surprised if there's another delay. Amtrak has once again proven their total inability to provide anything resembling a "world class" service. Their usual battle cry, IT AIN'T OUR FAULT!, doesn't hold up this time. It IS their fault for buying a train that's incompatible with the infrastructure. Sure it will go into service next spring; April 31st!
I’m starting to think Brightline West will be completed before these new Acela trains enter service…
Just bring back steam engines much better
And another thing get rid of that crappy European horn. That horn will more likely than not cause safety issues due to passengers and individuals at level crossings not recognizing that thing over a K5LA. So the crappy European horn find a way to put in a hybrid K5LA.
Seems to me that the track quality is not up to high speeds, nor are the freight-first companies willing to adjust to passenger first. Congress, it's your fault.
Office oif Inspector General, report of September 29 2023 has all the goods on the issue.
Excellent
The new acela looks like this ITALO agv to be honest but still really cool design 👍
If they have so many problems STOP DELIVERING THEM. i mean seriously. "These trains have lots of problems but we finished building one here you go Amtrak. Good luck with all these problems we wont fix first."
They're still not running. That's what REALLY is happening.
Bring back the GG1
More excellent HSR news.
When leaving Manhattan on the way to Boston, the first stretch up to New Haven averages 30 mph. What are they doing about that?
So cute, in Europe intercity trains have a minimum capacity of 500 people, goint up to 1000 in buisy lines. This trains are so small
👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
