Launched in 2000, the Amtrak® Acela® made history as the first high-speed train service in North America, running between Washington D.C., New York City, and Boston at speeds upwards of 150MPH. Now, just over 20 years later, the Acela® service continues to push the envelope for speed and modernity in the Northeast with the development of a new generation of hi-tech trains from Alstom. The Bachmann Amtrak® Acela® II Train Set features two locomotives (one powered, one non-powered), ready-to-run with analog control and speaker-equipped for upgrading to sound and DCC, a First Class passenger car, Cafe Car, and Business Class Quiet Car. Also included is an 81" x 45" oval of snap-fit nickel silver E-Z Track® with concrete ties, power pack and speed controller, and illustrated instructions.
