Amtrak's $2 Billion Acela Fleet Delayed by Outdated Tracks
TL;DR
Amtrak's $2 billion plan to replace its Acela express trains with high-speed trains has been slowed down due to the old railroad tracks on the Washington-to-Boston corridor. The new trains require modern tracks and infrastructure to operate at their full potential, but the century-old tracks are not capable of handling the new trains' speed.
