Amtrak's new high-speed NextGen Acela trains will soon begin operating between Boston, New York and Washington, D.C.

“NextGen Acela is more than a new train—it’s an evolution of travel,” said Amtrak President Roger Harris. “In just a few weeks, history will be made with the debut of NextGen Acela as we launch a new standard for American train travel.”

Amtrak's first NextGen Acela trains officially enter service this month along the Northeast Corridor, marking the first major overhaul of the high-speed route since Acela debuted in 2000.
