Amtrak Acela Bullet Trains

Why did Amtrak Did the Acela Trains was it to replace the Metroliner services?


The Aclea Trains are in 8 Car Train Sets & possibble up to 15 car train sets.


There is Tilting High speed train sets that now being done mostly more than likely for USA in a lot of areas .

where there is sharpe curves .


Amtrak will be around forever in some Form with a possible the Bullet Trains that will be Replacing Diesels
& doing Hydro Fuel cell Locomotives With Amtrak Trains.

I know that Amtrak is a Private & Govermnet Owned Rail Service.


Hydro fuel cell Locomotives will be cleaner & Better , ECO Friendly .

What?! Acela Express sets are 6 cars not 8 cars. Amtrak is federally funded and honestly I don't get any of what your saying.

It seems likely that english is not trolleycar's first lanquage so cut him some slack .

Did Acela replace the Metroliners ???
i think the metroliners were gone before the Acela was introduced . original equippment was anyway .
the Acela was introduced to provide a high speed , high class service to the NEC .

He's more-than-likely including the powercars with that.

Fuel cell powered, hydrogen fuelled locos have been proposed. In theory they would be useful. However, I think there is some way to go before we can know whether they are possible. It is about 8 years since I first heard of the concept. I haven't heard of much development since.
The power would be delivered as electricity so they would have some of the characteristics of electric locos. They could be used on lines where the frequency of trains doesn't justify overhead or third rail installation.

They would replace oil products for locos.

I have no problem with broken English some of my friends have problems with English so I know how that goes. I'm more confused with what hes saying about the Acela, I think Chessie hit it with him including the power cars. The Metroliners were long gone by the time the Acela came on line.

That would make sense , as many of the hsr sets overseas , the power cars also seat passengers .

so where is he getting the possible 15 car trainsets (acela)

No, not originally. But they phased out the Metroliner service later.

The Aclea Trains are in 8 Car Train Sets & possibble up to 15 car train sets.

OK. Where does the "Aclea" run?

Amtrak has the Acela, and they run with six passenger cars and two power cars (locomotives).

There is Tilting High speed train sets that now being done mostly more than likely for USA in a lot of areas .

where there is sharpe curves .

That's good news. You know exactly where, and what kind of tilting high-speed trainsets?

That's quite a prediction. Amtrak around forever?

I know that Amtrak is a Private & Govermnet Owned Rail Service.

Amtrak is most definitely not both private and government-owned.

Hydro(gen?) fuel cell Locomotives will be cleaner & Better, ECO Friendly.

Cleaner than electric trains? More powerful than electric trains? So far, hydrogen fuel cell technology experimentation has been limited to yard switchers, not any road locomotive. Wires are good. No pantograph, no progress.

It seems more likely that English is his first language. Looking at the text when quoted, there is more than one space in between the words. Furthermore, it doesn't look like broken English. Probably a youngster, or someone with "special" needs. (Did the odd capitalization make it look like a German-speaker?)

Maybe he counted the power cars as part of the set getting 8.

Acela was to upgrade the Amtrak High Speed Corridor on the NEC. And it also gave an incentive to wire the tracks all the way to Boston rather than switching over to F40s at New Haven. It provides a faster service but allows the regionals still to run.
