Will Amtrak be getting any new Passenger Cars anytime soon, after their money problem is over? If so , I hope it's Passenger Cars that look similar to the Acela Passenger Cars.
It Amtrak gets any brand new cars, it won't be for five years, at the earliest. They will, after this year, have just enough cash to fix the wrecked cars in the Grove, and that's it. Right now, there are no domestic facilities to produce passenger cars. Any company looking to enter the market would need to tool up for such an order, which would add time to the deliver date. The other alternatives would be Bombardier in Canada, which is unlikely after the Acelamess, or an overseas supplier. As for hoping the cars look like the Acela Express trainset, let's just not.
