Amtrak has joined the 21st century with brand new trains now in service on key routes in the U.S.
I've been eagerly covering and anticipating the new Amtrak next-generation train sets that are finally traveling the busy Northeast Corridor after years and years of delays. We got our first look at the trains in 2022, but they didn't start official service until this year.
Amtrak has lagged behind Asian and European train operators for decades, but these new trains do a great deal to help the U.S. catch up. The upgraded Acela next-generation cars reach speeds of some 160 miles an hour and use 20% less energy.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
