Amtrak

Amtrak saw a 1.3 percent increase in riders last fiscal year, including a 3.7 percent increase in ridership on long-distance trains, the railroad said.

Amtrak is buying 28 next-generation high-speed transits from Alstom as part of $2.45 billion Northeast Corridor (NEC) modernization project.

Amtrak has received delivery of the 70th — and final — ACS-64 locomotive.

Amtrak Northeast Corridor customers can soon take advantage of additional opportunities to ride Acela Express as Amtrak’s high-speed service adds station stops in Iselin (Metropark) and Trenton, New Jersey.
