The way the Acela is introduced as it first pulled into Boston is the way every transit project in America should be welcomed.

Bless Dukakis. I hope we inaugurate the Avelias the same way

whenever i see the acela i just see it as just another express train but you gotta realize this train is history and so famous, it’s something we will never forget about

I love how Michael Dukakis is saying our airports are a mess in 2000. Oh buddy, you have no idea that in just a couple of months the whole entire aviation industry in America will be turned upside down.

@@supermarionathan1426but avelia liberty is technically part of the avelia series of European TGV And the liberty model is an American version and fell in the Acela branding. So we have an American TGV that will assist in Acela service and beat metro liner time tables once more You can tell it’s a TGV because of how it’s arranged and it’s iconic and obviously horn

If Acela's Current Retied In Next Few Years, I Hope Some Of Them Are Preserved Just Like First Shinkansen From JNR Era, & The Remaining Are Used As Special Train Or Moved To Indonesia & Changed It's Gauge From 1,435 MM (4 FT 8 1⁄2 IN) To 1,067 MM (3 FT 6 IN).
