Amtrak

Amtrak continues to advance efforts to improve infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) by launching a pilot project focused on rehabilitating the 147-year-old Baltimore & Potomac (B&P) Tunnel.

The first of Amtrak’s 28 new Acela trainsets will be leaving from Alstom’s facility in Hornell, N.Y., for high-speed testing at the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, Colo.

Amtrak and N.J. Transit are refreshing of the ticketed waiting area at New York Penn Station, the seating area for their customers at the Amtrak Concourse on the Upper Level and 8th Avenue side of the station.
