Passenger Trains > New Acelas at PhillyDate: 03/19/25 06:50 New Acelas at Philly Author: Chessie1963 The new Acelas sitting at Philly have been moved around, and importantly, there were crews there doing all sorts of things to them. There were a number of vehicles on location, with folks on the ground. One fellow went underneath one of the cars, checking things. He popped back out and moved along.
There is progress. I was surprised to see activity around these things as there has been none to date. I am encouraged. Wonder if they can keep them clean? Hahahaha! Date: 03/19/25 07:40 Re: New Acelas at Philly Author: Lackawanna484 This is a very good sign for the Avelia equipment
Date: 03/19/25 07:56 Re: New Acelas at Philly Author: Mgoldman Way back in October or so, there were rumors that service would begin
on March 30th, if I recall. More recent updates in the news suggested "Spring" as the date they would finally enter service. Seems soon - lots of recent test runs. /Mitch Date: 03/19/25 08:16 Re: New Acelas at Philly Author: Lackawanna484 How many Avelia train sets are stored in Philadelphia or Upstate NY? It seems like there are quite a few tucked in out of the way places like the WNY&P yard, etc.

I do not know why but I assume that Alstom-Hornell wants to address any issues before delivery. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/19/25 11:28 by NYSWSD70M. |
