Amtrak NextGen Acela, Airo, and major Northeast Corridor infrastructure upgrades are driving a new era of American passenger rail. Faster, more reliable service and a better traveler experience is becoming a reality thanks to historic investment across the nation.

From high-speed, American-built NextGen Acela trains now in service to the Airo trainsets arriving this year, Amtrak is modernizing how our country travels.

Major projects are already underway:
• William H. Gray 30th Street Station restoration in Philadelphia
• Portal North Bridge opened to cut delays between Newark and New York
• New York East River Tunnel modernization to improve safety and reliability
• Connecticut River Bridge replacement under construction on the Northeast Corridor
• New Long Distance Fleet procurement underway

Amtrak is building the future of rail travel, one project at a time. Learn more at amtraknewera.com
