"Our new trains will transform the Amtrak experience with significant environmental benefits, a progressive design and world-class amenities." Amtrak执行长Roger Harris说：当我们为未来投资，Amtrak将为铁路带来新世代 又说：这些新车将以显着的环境效益、先进的设计与世界级的便利设施来改变Amtrak的体验 According to the company, the "future" of Amtrak will include panoramic windows, speeds of up to 125 miles per hour, self-service food options, wayfinding with a color-coded system, enhanced comfort with spacious seating, enhanced lighting, improved technology and a greener impact. 根据Amtrak，新车拥有全景式窗户、最高时速达125mph(201kph)、自助式食物服务、以颜色编码的座位导引系统(JR东那套?)、宽敞舒适的座椅(改成皮椅最好会好坐啦XD)、加强照明、增强科技以及更绿能的设计 The new trains are more fuel efficient and produce 90% less particulate emissions in diesel operations. 新车在柴油机车头牵引的模式下 比以往的方式能节省高达九成的能源排放 The new trains are part of a "larger transformation" Amtrak said will "revolutionize" its experience, including new Acela trains, major infrastructure projects, service expansion, station upgrades, modernization efforts and improved track capacity along the Northeast Corridor. 这些新车是这次Amtrak大改变的一部分而已 其余包含Acela Livery新车、大型基础建设、扩大服务、车站升级、现代化的设施以及增加东北走廊的运能 A share of Amtrak’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding will support the procurement of Airo trains, which will be manufactured by Siemens in California. 这次的新车叫做Airo 由西门子公司得标 在加州的工厂制造 (这次西门子公司赚烂了 Amtrak所有新车都他们的) "Americans deserve modern, safe, reliable passenger rail service, and introducing brand new rail cars is a major step towards improving the daily experience of commuters and travelers who depend on Amtrak," said Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Amit Bose. 联邦铁路管理局(FRA)局长说：美国人应享受现代、安全、可靠的铁路系统，引进新车是改善依赖Amtrak的通勤者或旅行者日常体验的重要的一步 "This year, FRA provided nearly $4.3 billion in annual funding to support these improvements, and with President Biden’s historic investments in Amtrak, we’re poised to make intercity passenger rail an even more efficient, convenient and accessible mode of travel for Americans," he added. 他也说到：今年FRA提供近43亿美金的资金来支持这些改进，加上拜登对Amtrak的历史性投资，我们准备让城际铁路运输成为美国人有更有效、舒适、进步的移动方式。 心得感想 拜Amtrak Joe拜登总统所赐 换完电头、柴头、Acela後 再来就是要换年近半百的Amfleet车厢 这次新车叫做Airo 为西门子Venture系列 差异在有无驾驶拖车 预计2026开始更换 目前Amtrak Midwest已经使用该款车厢 不过因为现在都是现代欧风的设计 所以以往那种舒适绒毛风的"Coach" 也就不复存在了 Coach class http://i.imgur.com/TwufrX0.jpg Business class http://i.imgur.com/SCtZPAm.jpg 也因为这样 座椅固定无法再做旋转 不过文中有提到座位导引系统 代表之後Amtrak也要采订票即配位制？ 目前的订票是买到票後上车自己找位子坐 部分路线是会有站务员在现场才会告知座位 所以是否靠窗靠走道就是凭运气 如果有导入新的配位系统 或许可以优先选位 避免坐到与车行方向相反的位子 其实老美也很讨厌这种座位 通常正向的没位子了 这种最後才被坐走 另外就是因为Airo有驾驶拖车 (车头跟ALC-42长的一模一样= =) 所以机车头到端点站不用再调头了 或许也是ALC-42/SC-44驾驶端只设一侧的关系 再来要更换的就是Superliner双层客车了 不过国外没有类似的设计 所以Amtrak自己也很苦恼 不过Superliner真的太特殊了 要不是没有提供wifi 还真不希望他退役哩~ #PTTRailway ----- Sent from JPTT on my Sony XQ-AS72. --
