New trainsets and ongoing infrastructure upgrades are improving reliability, capacity, and passenger experience on the Northeast Corridor as part of a long-term US rail modernisation effort.

The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority has rebranded Amtrak San Joaquins as Gold Runner to reflect the service’s regional identity, vision, and long-term expansion plans in California.

Known within the industry as part of Amtrak’s Airo fleet, a total of 83 new trainsets will roll out across the country.

For the first time since Acela’s debut in December 2000, new premium high-speed trainsets are now operating on the Northeast Corridor.

New and upgraded facilities in Boston, New York, and Washington, DC will support modern, state-of-the-art Airo and NextGen Acela trains.

NextGen Acela will introduce 28 new trains by 2027, providing 27% more seats, faster service, and 5G-enabled Wi-Fi.

Tunnel, bridge, and fleet upgrade program creates American construction and manufacturing jobs, drives economic growth, and improves mobility around the U.S.

The project is part of the ongoing and companywide commitment at Amtrak to ensure a safe, efficient, and comfortable travel experience for customers.

Amtrak’s New Era of Rail continues with funding announced for 13 Amtrak-led projects that will modernize the Northeast Corridor (NEC) and unlock major bottlenecks on the busiest passenger railroad in America.

California Operation Lifesaver and the Los Angeles Angels join rail safety initiatives to prevent railroad incidents through outreach and education.
