Amtrak has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new Long Distance train fleet, marking a major step toward modernizing overnight and cross-country travel across the United States.

This next-generation fleet is designed to deliver a more comfortable, accessible, and reliable experience for customers traveling long distances. Planned upgrades include modern seating, enhanced private rooms, improved dining options, and updated onboard amenities that reflect what today’s travelers expect.

Long Distance routes play a critical role in connecting communities nationwide. This investment supports a stronger, more reliable network while responding to growing demand for better long-distance travel options.

This video highlights the vision for the future of Long Distance service and what these investments mean for customers, communities, and the future of rail.

We’re just getting started.
