Posted by Olog-hai on Sun Dec 16 17:57:49 2012, in response to Re: Amtrak Announces Order for complete replacement of 20 Acela Express trainsets, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Sat Dec 15 18:56:07 2012. . . . and Amtrak probably isn't going to kick the freight off the NECAmtrak isn't going to kick the regionals and commuter traffic off the NEC either. FRA's Tier II regulations don't go away once freight is off a corridor that is part of the general railway network. (And besides, Deutsche Bahn operates freight on some of their high-speed corridors anyhow.) I wouldn't call the Acelas a modernized LRC, especially in light of what the acronym LRC stands for (Light, Rapid, Comfortable); and the LRCs always had low-platform boarding (they ran into Boston South Station back when it had low platforms, after all) . . . |
