New U.S. trains

“It’s about to get a little nicer to go by train in the Pacific Northwest.

Amtrak has unveiled a sneak peek at its new Airo trains, a fleet that will be rolled out across the country in 2026.”

That’s exciting news! I was also reading last night the Mardi Gras line for Amtrak between NOLA and Mobile, AL will be restarting after a 20 year hiatus.

The U.S. has much more of a car culture over its vast geography, but there’s some progress on trains.
