TS 8 was sent to Boston on Monday and is slated to return to Philly Wednesday evening behind 179 according to a Facebook post.

Curious, and this may have been answered upthread: will seat selection at purchase be available on the Airos? That’s a big drawback on the Regional. It's not helpful to the employees who use Regional and Keystone trains to either Deadhead or commute to work. It would almost force them to get a tick...

Messrs. BRAC (Dude) and BLE (Acela 150), don't mean to talk politics, but I'd be thinking of a Jan 20, 2025 commencement with Joe, after coming to his senses and withdraws or is defeated, making a farewell trip on such to Wilmington. What does a Presidential election have to do with new equipment? ...

So where are we at vis-a-vis number of sets delivered, testing progress, and acceptance? 6 trainsets have been delivered. 7" cant deficiency testing set for sometime this spring, with the goal of 6 trainsets for revenue service by the end of 2023. https://ngec.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/NG...

106, 90, and a AmCafe are on Train 283 to Niagra Falls today (10/7) for a Sunday pick up of the next trainset.

The service is running an operating deficit of $34.7 million for FY 2022 with a load factor of 21%. This compares to a $16.8 million deficit and load factor of 13% for FY 2021, $11 million deficit and load factor of 31% for FY 2020, $4.2 million and a load factor of 40% for FY 2019. Their are a few...

Trainset 1 scheduled to be picked up from TTCI and transported back to Hornell in the coming week or so. Extra power was sent west from Chicago on today's Southwest Chief, 3 (26). If you are out that way, this is your one chance to shoot the new Acela where it will likely never go again. As of 730a...

How many sets have been built? Is there still 2 of existence, or are there more arriving on the NEC? There are at least 6 train sets completed, and another two under construction. Not sure if TS1 has gone back to Alstom for refitting yet, but TS3 is due on property some time in April. The first set...

Hopefully before any more trainsets come out, they will fix the issues we see with the squealer / squeaker (alleged horn) and paint job. Not going happen. Amtrak isn't in the business of pleasing railfans with train horns and paint jobs that railfans want. While I agree the horn is terrible, as lon...

Why didn't Amtrak just re-route to NYG? As has been stated, no overhead into Grand Central. Why not run to Stamford and turn there? I can understand New Rochelle would be tough (I heard one NEC did terminate there). At least at Stamford you can transfer to an MNRR express to NYG and back, and not f...
