New Amtrak and VIA RAIL Train Equipment Updates - 2025: Train Talk Ep. 41
Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new episode of Train Talk! It is an exciting time on the rails of North America's passenger railroads. Seemingly every railroad is purchasing new fleets of equipment. With all the changes, it can be hard to keep track of everything that's going on. In this special two part series of Train Talk, I will go through every passenger rail carrier, one by one, and discuss all the major changes that are happening including new equipment orders, fleet retirements or rebuilds, and new paint schemes. I will also provide the latest status update of each project. Part one (this video) will take a look at Amtrak and Via Rail. Part 2 will examine all the commuter rail operations. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the next 25 minutes as we take a deep dive into everything that's happening right now with Amtrak and Via Rail!
