These trains were first set to debut in spring 2025, traveling on the Northeast Corridor. However, the launch was later postponed.
In late July, an ‘employee-only' email leaked out , stating that the trains were as close as ever to their debut. The text stated, "Getting the last stages of testing done for the Acela" and mentioned a rehearsal run. In a press release published on Amtrak’s official website, the company has finally announced the official launch of these state-of-the-art trains.
