Amtrak began operating its new high-speed train fleet on Thursday along the Northeast Corridor linking Washington, New York and Boston, a $2.35 billion project that was delayed for years.
The trains replace the 25-year-old Acelas, and can carry roughly 27% more passengers per trip, according to a statement from the national passenger railroad. The trains, called the NextGen Acelas, will operate at a maximum of 160 miles per hour, 10 miles an hour faster than its predecessor vehicles.
