| TALGO TRAINSETS (Series 6) [Retired] | |||||||||||
| The "as-built" Series 6 Talgo trainsets were delivered in 1998 and 1999. They entered revenue service in 1999. They were made up of 12 cars in the following order: Baggage(1), Coach(5), Accessible Coach(1), Bistro(1), Dining(1), Accessible Custom Class(1), Custom Class(1) and Power(1). The Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier are owned by Washington state, and the Mt. Hood and Mt. Olympus are owned by Amtrak. The "Las Vegas" trainset was purchased by Washington state in 2004. The exterior of the train was repainted to match the other Pacific Northwest equipment though the interior was not changed at the time. It is now named the Mt. Adams. The trainset configurations as of October 2019 are listed at the bottom of this section. This roster is arranged by as-built trainset, and may differ from other "as-built/delivered" rosters due to a clerical error in Talgo-to-WSDOT delivery correspondence (Series 6). As of June 30, 2020, all Series 6 Talgos are out of service. Mt. Hood's final run occurred on Sunday and Monday, June 28-29 as train 505/500, the only Amtrak Cascade running at the time due to COVID-19-induced service reductions. Mt. Olympus made its final round-trip on Saturday and Sunday, June 27-28. Washington state's two Talgo 6 trains, Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier, were sidelined in May. Mt. Baker's last revenue trip was as Train 500 on May 9th. Mt. Rainier made its final run as Train 500 on May 12th. Disposition information: WSDOT sets were placed up for sale in July 2020, and eventually sold to a scrapper. They moved from Seattle to the scrapping location in southern California during March 2021. The Amtrak sets were moved to Beech Grove in August 2020, where they remained until January 2023 when they were sold to a scrapper and removed from the property. The Northwest Railway Museum, thanks to the generosity of the scrapper, was able to save Bistro car 7304, and in February 2023 is arrived at the museum in Snoqualmie, Washington. |

The "as built" Series 8 Talgo trainsets for Oregon were purchased, and are owned, by the state of Oregon. The as-built/delivered configuration from 2013 included 13 cars in the following order: Baggage/End Car, Coach, Accessible Coach, Coach, Accessible Coach, Coach, Accessible Coach, Coach, Bisto, Dining, Business Class (2). All Business Class cars are accessible and contain restrooms (WC). Accessible Coaches also contain restrooms (WC). The "Wisconsin" trainsets were cancelled by the governor of Wisconsin, and were subsequently placed in long-term storage in Beech Grove. In 2019, Washington DOT contracted with Talgo to configure the trains for Amtrak Cascade service to expedite the removal of the Series 6 trainsets following the NTSB report about the December 2017 accident at DuPont. The car listing is by type; the order of the trainsets are listed under the number matrix. Modifications are expected to match the trains more closely with Amtrak Cascades service requirements. In July 2020, in anticipation of the arrival of the Washington/Wisconsin trainsets, the Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Bachelor trainsets were modified by the removal of the dining car and one Accessible Businessclass coach, as well as swapping ends for the baggage and cab cars. These modifications were undone in May/June 2021, though the Baggage and Cab/Power cars were exchanged on the trainsets. Then, in July 2021, the 7910 and 7110 (Mt. Jefferson cars) were renamed Mt. Bachelor, and the 7911 and 7111 (Mt. Bachelor cars) were renamed Mt. Jefferson. Thus, to a trackside observer, the trainsets are the same as the original configurations except for the numbers of the cab/power and baggage cars. The Wisconsin sets were sold in January 2022 to Lagos, Nigeria, for use on a new rail line for that city. The current configurations of the trainsets are listed under the table. |

| ACELA EXPRESS TRAINSETS | ||
| The 20 Acela Express trainsets were built by a consortium of Bombardier and Alstom. Each eight-car Acela Express trainset consists of two power cars, one first class car, four business class cars, and a cafe. Amtrak "rebranded" the Acela Express service as "Acela" in 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Acela service was significantly reduced, and four trainsets (2, 4, 5 and 7) were placed into storage at Bear, Delaware. In Dec-23, trainset 4 was moved to Wilmington, Delaware, for an overhaul, in preparation for a return to revenue service. Trainset Consists are available here. |

| ACELA 2nd GENERATION/AVELIA LIBERTY | ||
| In August 2016, Amtrak signed a contract with Alstom for 28 new high-speed trainsets to replace the existing Acela Express trainsets. Testing of the first trainset began at TTCI in Pueblo, CO, in February 2020, and the testing of the second trainset began on the NEC in April 2020. Revenue service was planned to begin in 2021, but Amtrak announced, in May 2021, a delay in revenue service until 2022. Further delays have occurred as Amtrak and Alstom work to meet FRA requirements, and revenue service is now excepted to begin in 2024. The 28 trainsets will feature two "compact power cars" and nine passenger carrying vehicles. The stated goal of the trainsets is to provide 33% more passenger capacity per trainset than the Acela Express. The trainsets are based upon Alstom's Avelia European high-speed trainset. The trains are designed for operation up to 186 mph, but will initially operate at revenue speeds not exceeding 160 mph, and that will only occur in locations where the present Acela 1st Generation trainsets are authorized 135 or 150 mph top speeds. Trainset Consists are available here |

| Airo (Amfleet Replacements) | |||||
| Long referred to as the "Amfleet Replacements," or "Intercity Trainsets (ICT), Amtrak on December 15, 2022 formally announced the equipment's new name "Amtrak Airo," pronounced arrow. In July 2017, Amtrak signed a $3.4 billion contract with Siemens Mobility for 73 trainsets. In the summer of 2023, Amtrak exercised its option for the "Option" cars listed below. The passenger vehicles are based on the PRIIA-multistate Venture car design. The order includes dual power locomotives, ALC-42E which will be able to receive power from either a Battery Car or an Auxiliary Power Vehicle--essentially a passenger car with a pantograph. Originally announced to begin delivery in 2024, Amtrak now expects the first trainsets to be delivered in 2026, with deliveries continuing for the next six years. The first hybrid trainset (with a Battery Car) is expected to be delivered for testing in 2027. |
