Over the last year, Amtrak began the testing of their newest railcars, Avelia Liberty, to be used on their flagship Acela service on the Northeast Corridor. Reaching unparalleled speeds (in the US at least), Avelia Liberty promises to (hopefully) bring a big refresh to American high-speed travel.

The horn sounds like a French ambulance

I'm very excited for these trains to become the new face of Amtrak. I hope that in combination with the new Amtrak Airo sets being put into service in the coming years, we can see a more people enjoying what a great travel experience Amtrak can be. Also, you're 100% correct about the rooty-toot-toot horn. They gotta do something about that.

Just wait 100 more years and US train service might even become as good as european countries' 30 years ago!

Good video. Yes for a video on the NEC 2037 vision. l wonder when the Avelias will begin revenue service and how many miles will they be able to travel at 160 mph.

Had no idea about the 2037 plan, would love to see a video on it. Can't wait to finally not see the trainsets wasting away at 30th St Station

Great video! I've been following these developments deeply even though I live nowhere near North America, let alone the Northeast Corridor. Soon these trains will become the face of comfortable, fast train travel in the region!

Technically it's a 'near' HSR line (HSR is min 155mph & above) and for only a 31mi section. Hopefully, that will gradually expand.

Just so it’s clear… the ride mentioned here from Princeton Junction to New Brunswick only takes less than 10mins on a slow passenger train. 10 mins.

NEC 2037 vision, tell us more!

The horn is how trains in France and Switzerland sound. Alstom trains which are French have a zero fatality record since they first built the TGV train sets in the 80's.
