Alstom’s Acela Liberty high-speed train for Amtrak

Here we have, Alstom’s Acela Liberty high-speed train for Amtrak which made its debut in the spring of 2022 with rail service linking Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C. This inter-city service will stretch across approximately 457 miles at speeds up to 220 mph.

Alstom designed and built these high-speed trains based on proven technology with more than 1,000 high-speed trains in service worldwide. Acela provides more space and improved comfort for passengers, with enhanced safety and reduced energy consumption.
