In 2010 Amtrak ordered 70 electric locomotives for its Northeast Corridor. Now regular operations of the first electric locomotives are starting. The Boston-Washington connection ranks as one of the busiest rail-traffic links in the US. With the new locomotives, thanks to faster sequences, Amtrak can transport more passengers along the same route. The first Siemens locomotives for the US market are being built at the Rail Systems factory in Sacramento. Is this America's Rail Renaissance?
