New Haven line: NextGen Acela debut & more in Stamford, CT
On August 28, 2025, Amtrak’s long awaited NextGen Acela entered revenue service. I was lucky enough to catch the last 2 trains using the NextGen trains on their first day, those being trains 2170 and 2173, as well as some other trains including the Legacy Acela on 2172. I hope you enjoy the video!
