Do y9u or anyone have the estimated time to completion of this order. I have not seen a status report for a long time.

 

You know, I've been thinking about that since I posted it.  I have not found anything further about it except for the original announcement.

 

You mean the extra Acela coaches, right? My recollection of this was it never got any further than Boardman's musing. He suggested that Amtrak COULD put a surcharge on Acela fares and use the proceeds to purchase 20 extra coaches. I don't think I ever saw a press release or other info stating an order was placed or was imminent.

 Elsewhere here we are talking about Acela refurbishment which adds 26 revenue seats to the Cafe Care.  That's a start, I think.
