Next Generation of Amtrak High Speed Trains

At Amtrak we know the future of the Northeast Corridor (NEC) depends on the investments we make today, which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the next-generation of high-speed rail. The new trainsets will replace the current Acela Express equipment and begin service in 2021. As part of this multifaceted modernization program, Amtrak is also investing in the infrastructure needed to improve your customer experience onboard the train and in major NEC stations including Washington Union Station and Moynihan Station New York.

This investment will expand and modernize the Acela Express service you've come to expect, while adding the amenities and ride quality of international high-speed train services. This next-generation of Acela Express will give you a more comfortable and productive travel experience throughout your entire journey. Just a few of the new amenities include:

Approximately one-third more passenger seating, while preserving the spacious, high-end comfort found onboard today
Modern interior design
Improved Wi-Fi access and quality
Personal outlets, USB ports and adjustable reading lights at every seat
Enhanced food service options
Exceed the ADA minimum accessibility requirements
