NextGen Acela is here. 🚄
As Amtrak President Roger Harris put it, “These trains are beautiful, they are fast, they are state of the art, and they are American made.”
This is Amtrak 2.0 — modern, comfortable, and ready to move more people than ever before. We can’t wait to…
Itinerary Change: Due to unresolved mechanical assessments, Train 471 is now canceled between Springfield (SPG) and New Haven (NHV). Alternate bus transportation will be provided. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
The Acela-bration has begun.
Just one more day until you can experience the all-new NextGen Acela — with expanded seating, more departures, and a premium travel experience from start to finish.
Share this if you’re just as excited as we are. 🚄
