Inside the plant building the fastest passenger trains in America
Summary by NewsWall
- Beginning next year, the new Acela trains will travel through the nation's busiest rail stations, representing a significant step toward America's aspirations for modern, faster, and more reliable intercity train service.
- The trains will be the fastest on the American rail system.
- Crews work on passenger cars, adding windows — larger than those on legacy Acela trains to allow more light — before moving to the station to install restrooms, the air conditioning system, and the roof.
- The birthplace of high-speed rail in the United States
