    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    At this point in time, nothing is set in stone. Things are most certainly looking up and going in the right direction at this time.

    Good thing that progress is being made and things are starting to get optimistic for service.

    Amtrak P42C cab car

    You're basing that on the assumption that P42 Cab Car weren’t planned. Both the HHP and P42 have been planned to be used as Cab Cars.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    I heard KP 2022 out last night on the BERRY talking to CTEC-6, I'm not sure if they were doing a Charger test train or something with one of the new highspeed sets. I caught the tail end of the conversation.

    Do assistant conductors have to do the job of a brakeman?

    Now that I'm at a computer I can go a little more into detail about the terms of "Brakemen" "Flag" etc. The term Brakemen is still used frequently. A three man crew on a regional train will consist of Condcutor (who normally works the front of the train), "Middle Brake" who will work the...

    TS 2 (Testbed Set) was in Boston last week doing more testing. I have heard that things are progressing well and will be on hold for FRA review for a little bit. But in my opinion hope is on the horizon from what I’ve been hearing.

    Do assistant conductors have to do the job of a brakeman?

    All of the above applies to the Assistant Conductor jobs.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    The trainset was south yesterday. They couldn’t come in the normal way through 2 lead as they were temporarily out of service. So they had to come out the MH and go through the station to get to the testing area.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    They were running as 843 yes. I believe that the 2022 crew picked up the trainset in NYP. Ignore the doom and gloom. The purpose of the testing is to satisfy FRA requirements.

    KP2022 was sitting on the Tail Track at MANTUA at 8pm this evening (8/29). Not sure what they were doing tonight. But a guess says putting miles on a trainset.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    The trainset was pulling out of Penn Coach Yard this morning at 920. (8/26)

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    Train 844 is slated to run tomorrow (8/26) PHL-BOS with the test bed set. I believe that the plan is for testing along the shoreline. Scheduled to leave around 9am.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2Q 2024)

    They were prepping the test bed set for some testing tonight. (8/24)
