The new ACS-64 electric locomotives will travel at speeds up to 125 mph on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor between Washington D.C. and Boston, and on the rail’s Keystone Service from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and New York. The locomotives will also power all long-distance trains operating on the Northeast Corridor.
“The improved performance, reliability and mobility for these regional and intercity routes that these high-performance energy efficient locomotives provide will benefit the overall passenger service that our members provide,” said General Vice President Sito Pantoja.
