i will not take this back. @amtrak-official fight me
Okay so there are several things being ignored and forgotten with this statement. First of all Amtrak does run electrified rail on the NEC and Keystone Service. Second, Amtrak is unable to begin electrification projects do to barely receiving any government funding to do capital investment projects. And finally even when we want to electrify corridors we are unable to because Freight Railroads will block any electrification as it hurts their bottom line. Also Diesel trains still are more environmentally friendly than a car. The very simple fact is that German Railroads are nationalized meaning intercity services don’t have to fight to survive and are able to do large investment projects
