Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2025)

Not much new information there. What event even prompted them to write this article?

If I'm to guess, it's just to get the news out there for the layman who doesn't know much about this stuff. That, or for those that are interested, but don't actively track it. I'm imagining it's more of the former.

Must have missed the train on cameras. CETC-7 is trying to contact KP2022 so I guess they're about to start their runs. County - Ham, you know the deal...

Not having the Philadelphia area radio stream is such a huge loss.

I don't think they showed up that night. Maybe they broke down and had to return. No radio traffic that night or in the last week.




Uploaded 4 days ago. No dates were stated in the video but this set (or these sets) has actual seats and no water barrels as seen during advanced testing last year. I'm certain it's under 2 weeks old.

Yeah, I went up there that night to see if it was for real. Turned out it wasn't, but was instead treated to ballast maintenance on Track 3 at Princeton Junction. One of the guys in the crew said he saw it at Trenton as they were making their way up, but might have just been a short night while they were getting ready for the maintenance crew to come up. Also, the footage I got of them doing the work was awesome.
