LOVE it. Glad to see some advanced commuter trains in America outside the NEC. Would the pantograph perform better aerodynamically if the pointed end were facing the direction of travel, or does it even matter?

Inside these trains will have all the comforts and conveniences of Amtrack trains which for commuters will be a big plus.

The rate of acceleration is incredible!

Agree! The electric trains should bring the same level of running time savings as subway type systems.

They will be 25 minutes faster in local service 🤩 (75 minutes instead of 100 minutes today)

Now we have got some good horns. I would have hate it so much if they have used same diesel locomotives style horns on these units like they did with everything else such as Amtrack ACS-64
