Amtrak

Amtrak should adopt a passenger-centric approach to increase ridership, improve service and improve its national rail network, the head of the Rail Passengers Association (RPA) said in a speech.

Amtrak is seeking information on rail vehicles, including coach cars, trainsets and self-propelled units that could replace the Amfleet I equipment.

Amtrak is moving to either acquire new locomotives or rebuild its current diesel fleet of locomotives to supplement and replace its aging national network diesel locomotive fleet used on long-distance and some state-supported routes.
