NextGen Acela has reached one million customer trips and counting on America’s only high-speed rail service.

Less than a year after launch, customers traveling between Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, and destinations across the Northeast Corridor are choosing faster, premium rail travel with NextGen Acela.

From free 5G-enabled Wi-Fi and enhanced dining in Cafe Acela to a smoother and more modern onboard experience, NextGen Acela is helping transform the future of passenger rail in America.

This milestone reflects growing demand for modern passenger rail travel in America and marks another step forward in Amtrak’s New Era of Rail, which includes new trains, upgraded infrastructure, expanded service, and major investments in bridges, tunnels, tracks, and stations nationwide.

Thank you to every customer who helped make this milestone possible.
