Amtrak, I Barely Recognize You
Apparently new train fleets are de riguer- and that’s fine with me. First my beloved SEPTA gets their new Silverliner V’s, and now Amtrak decides to get all hopey-changey and contracts Siemens for a gorgeous new train-set.
If Amtrak can muster up the funds and agency savvy to leverage ARC’s canceled tunnels in New Jersey, perhaps true high-speed rail can come to the United States by 2020 as opposed to 2050 (which, by the way, is ridiculous).
