I'm curious why "Capital" is not the correct spelling for the train, or at least should be the correct spelling. The city - the seat of government - is the "capital." "Capitol" refers to the building. The Capitol building is located in Washington DC, the capital of the USA. Why would someone...

The existing Acela sets were a joint venture between Bombardier and Alstom. Alstom designed the power cars and provided the traction equipment, electronics and the powered and non-powered trucks.

As of this evening, no problem here. Logged in at Amtrak.com, and I was able to pull up all my AGR info.

Norfolk Southern derailment just west of Toledo last night. Freight train hit an abandoned vehicle placed on the tracks resulting in a pileup, downed power line and fire. Capitol and Lake Shore affected both directions.

And to AGR Mastercard holders when the account is opened and annually on the account anniversary.

Only for Roomette travel. Not for other rooms.
