## Description

### Steam Store Description

Acela! It is America’s fastest train, and one of its most successful.
Operating over Amtrak’s electrified Northeast Corridor between Boston, New
York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D. C., at speeds up to 150 mph, the
Acela carries more than 3 million passengers a year.

Amtrak’s Acela high-speed trains, built by Bombardier and introduced to
service in 2000, are powered by two stylish but burly (to meet U. S. crash
standards) electric power cars, each weighing 200,000 pounds, delivering 6,169
horsepower, and equipped with advanced A. C. traction. Between the two power
cars, the standard Acela consist is six cars, five coaches (one configured for
first class and four as business class) and a mid-train cafe car. The coaches
of the Acela, but not its power cars, are equipped for tilt operations.

Now a decade-and-a-half into their service careers, Amtrak’s 20 stylish Acela
train sets continue to set the standard for both speed and comfort on the busy
Northeast Corridor and typically carry upwards of 15,000 travelers each
weekday.

Returning to Train Simulator in an enhanced edition including improved
operating characteristics and a passenger view, the Acela delivers exciting
opportunities for high-speed railroading on two popular Train Simulator
routes, the NEC: New York – New Haven route and the recently remastered and
re-released Northeast Corridor route between New York City’s Penn Station and
Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station.

Equipped with authentic cab signaling capabilities and the passenger-car tilt-
feature which allows the train to smoothly navigate curves along its route,
the Acela brings the best of American high-speed railroading to Train
Simulator!
