Reinvigorated in its 50th anniversary year with an influx of federal funding and support from President Biden, Amtrak is on a roll. It recently released its ambitious Connects US plan to expand and enhance service throughout its national network, bringing train service to and through cities that are currently not meaningfully served. This week, it also announced a major order to completely replace its aging fleet of railcars and locomotives on the East Coast, bringing along a host of #PaxEx and operational enhancements. By 2030, the Amtrak that passengers love, or love to hate, will look completely different on the East Coast and Pacific Northwest.
