Avelia Liberty - Amtrak's NEW HIGH-SPEED TRAIN (the next Acela!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Over the last year, Amtrak began the testing of their newest railcars, Avelia Liberty, to be used on their flagship Acela service on the Northeast Corridor. Reaching unparalleled speeds (in the US at least), Avelia Liberty promises to (hopefully) bring a big refresh to American high-speed travel.

The horn sounds like a French ambulance
Good video. Yes for a video on the NEC 2037 vision. l wonder when the Avelias will begin revenue service and how many miles will they be able to travel at 160 mph.
No expansion in the high speed areas, AFAIK.
I'm very excited for these trains to become the new face of Amtrak. I hope that in combination with the new Amtrak Airo sets being put into service in the coming years, we can see a more people enjoying what a great travel experience Amtrak can be. Also, you're 100% correct about the rooty-toot-toot horn. They gotta do something about that.
Had no idea about the 2037 plan, would love to see a video on it. Can't wait to finally not see the trainsets wasting away at 30th St Station
I like the Sound of the horn it’s definitely different
Great video! I've been following these developments deeply even though I live nowhere near North America, let alone the Northeast Corridor. Soon these trains will become the face of comfortable, fast train travel in the region!
Vow. Wary gur video Dtransit 😋💕
Wow so amazing train
Love your videos wish you would upload more
Technically it's a 'near' HSR line (HSR is min 155mph & above) and for only a 31mi section. Hopefully, that will gradually expand.
Yeah that horn, lol, but omg, where are the clowns? Hahaha 😂😂😂
Just wait 100 more years and US train service might even become as good as european countries' 30 years ago!
next to china's...european are primitive
100 years ago the US train service was pretty good.
@@onetwothreeabc and since they did not build anymore..
@@metrotrujillo Yes. It’s a downward trajectory. So I don’t understand why you think 100 years later US will have a better system than now.
I know you’re just being slightly sarcastic but is European rail service that much more advanced than US? Would you say euro rail is one of the most advanced in the world? What makes them different?
Great video lad!!! 🎉
Would love to see video on the 2037 NEC plan!
Nice video!
I would want to see more about the 2037 plan.
Just came thru Larchmont NY on way to NYC
The horn is how trains in France and Switzerland sound. Alstom trains which are French have a zero fatality record since they first built the TGV train sets in the 80's.
Hey, i dont know if you (the creator of this video) will see this but at 1:01 what you said is true (about the MBTA and the other train companys) but my conceren is at 1:10 because what you said is somewhat correct. while yes most of the Northeast Corrdior (the Boston to NYC half) cant handle the high-speeds of the Amtrak Northeast Regional and Acela, some parts of it can. (mainly in the MA area). Like for example, at Caton the trains can go up to 125-130 MPH even tho there is a huge curve right after the Platform. (this also applies to Sharon MA too for the speed limit) but in Mansfield MA, Acelas can go up to their full speed, and the same for the Northeast Regional (I also think that at Kingston RI Acleas can go 150+ too but I could be wrong, and all of that is coming from a guy, that lives in MA and has been to the Northeast Corrdior a couple of times for railfanning/train spotting stuff) But other than that this is a great video!
(If you do wanna see the Amtrak Acela going full speed, then I recomend watching this video ua-cam.com/video/V0DiM2LW2sE/v-deo.htmlsi=nKUizIo5pXuD4IrR&t=11 )
Have a great day!
nice👍
Just so it’s clear… the ride mentioned here from Princeton Junction to New Brunswick only takes less than 10mins on a slow passenger train. 10 mins.
The reason why the horn is a traditional high speed train horn is because it is way louder than the normal deeper horns that Amtrak rolling stock uses. It's for safety since the train is running at such high speeds and it can be heard further away.
Great thinking black king 7512
False
That’s just a Euro horn and it doesn’t comply with the American horn rules
@Schola718 There is a reason why they didn't change it is what I was saying.
@@blackking7512gotcha my bad
The high speed portion is actually on the northern part of the line.
I always thought the high speed portion was between New Brunswick and Princeton in New Jersey, no? Or at least that is the longest stretch of high speed?
@@DTransitA look at openrailwaymap proofes, that there are several "high speed" sections along the line, one of it being located between New Brunswick and Princeton, while the others are located around Providence.
Both of you are correct. Those are the two sections that get up to 150 MPH for the old Acela. That's a total of around 50 Miles of higher speed track. Both with newer catenary lines and straight sections of tracks to support such speeds. I ride the NE corridor quite often. @@DTransit
@@DTransit When I rode it a couple years ago, the only section was on the northern part as mentioned by the other commenter, I had no idea about the section south of NYC (which is cool!) The New Jersey section must be new in the last couple years. I plan to ride it again once the new rolling stock rolls out.
😊
NEC 2037 vision, tell us more!
The horn sounds like it's getting strangled. Sounds like an absolute shrill obnoxious horn. A K5LA would be better.
NEC is also the only one with decent service
now update the auto train...they need an update
In Japan/Germany/France, high speed trains are like 16 cars long. Why do we put up with such puny Acela trains, when they could serve so many more people and have more affordable fares if the trains were longer? We keep doing little piecemeal things.
probably for a similar reason as to why you don't see 747's flying short haul routes.
Exactly. Having live in 2 other 3 countries mentioned they are so far ahead in terms of public transport
If your stations happen to not be long enough for 16 car trains then you'll have to compensate with increased frequency. Doing neither makes no sense
Indeed. The horn sounds like someone is doing something simply Wrong to a poor goose. I vote for a happening orchestra and a great torch singer do a quick riff, "Comin' on through."
Your welcome, Amtrak. Bless your freakish heart~😜🥰
Those horns on the Avelia trains got to go, I don't know what was Alstom thinking!!!🙄😂
They're literally a French train, what did you expect
@@cryorig_transit05 Ummm, yeah a french train on American soil just like the Acela which has a real horn, what did you expect???😳
@kevinb8881 who tf cares about whatever soil it's on, it's a horn they chose to use- get over it ffs
@@cryorig_transit05 Obviously the Americans care, who the hell wants these pussy ass horns on these trains, gtfoh!!!
@@cryorig_transit05 You want to these pussy horns pass by in your backyard every day and night, you got problems!!!
European emergency siren
Train is beautiful, horn definitely isn’t
What if Amtrak got rid of all its slow trains and replaced them with fast ones in the coming years once railway infrastructure improves and resembles the European model.
The horn is a European sound,,,
Railcars in the description is false, at least based on American wording. (The Avelia Liberty is unfortunately not an EMU)
Aqui que somos el tercer Mundo, pero tenemos trenes de muchos tipos que pasan silvando por los campos de Don Quijote, y las competencia favorece para conseguir precios muy buenos.

The horn on the new Acela! sucks, sounds weak
Naw man this is old Acela, retire is already and get new Acela from Siemens.
The old Acelas is not going nowhere in no time.
150.mph is barelly high speed
High speed rail by definition is 125 mph or more unimproved rail lines. Even in Europe, the majority of the trains are only traveling 40 to 50 mph faster than our top speed of 150. Japan as well.
The United States should do it right. First of all, you already have the bullets. Now you have to build a track line from Boston Massachusetts to Jacksonville Florida which covers not only the northeast corridor but the entire United States Eastern seaboard. The United States Atlantic bullet line would cover not only the cities of the north east corridor but also one city in each state it travels through between Washington DC and Jacksonville Florida. The United States Atlantic Bullet Line could move millions of americans up and down the entire United States Eastern seaboard per year reaching speeds of up to 200 to 225 mph and not a ripple on your martinis. It takes 11.5 to 12.5 hours to drive from Philadelphia Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida. Or 13.5 to 14.5 hours by EV. With the Bullet Line you could board in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and be in Jacksonville Florida in about 4 to 6 hours. You damn right i would park my car and take the train. You could board in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and be in New York city in 30 to 40 minutes to go to work and still be home in time for supper. Highspeed bullet train technology which is also, (fully electric) is something the mighty United States of America should of had decades ago. Amtrak has a lot to learn and the United States of America needs to wake up. Highspeed bullet trains and maglev super train technology, the new american dream......
The horn is terrible
Just like the ones in France.
