Amtrak Adding to Fast Fleet
Amtrak says it will add two new high-speed trainsets to its Northeast Corridor Acela Express service (bringing the total to three) on March 5. One of the trains will add a daily round-trip Boston-Washington run, while the other will enter NYC-Washington service, making the one-way trip in two hours, 28 minutes. New Amtrak schedules show high-speed trains leaving NYC for Boston at 8:03 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Fast trains to Washington depart at 3:50 and 9:00 p.m. Amtrak also says it will have its full complement of 20 high speed trains running in the Northeast Corridor by the end of summer.
