Along the Northeast Corridor the speed limit is much higher, and there are a few lines in various places where the track is well kept and the railroads were successfully able to raise the speed limit.
Amtrak trains do not go to Bangor. Amtrak Thruway Bus service is available three times a day from Portland, ME.
Yes, except for some corridor trains like Amtrak Cascades.
amtrak is a company that owns trains. most amtrak trains are diesel but in the north east (NY, Penn, NH MD, CT, DC, etc) there is catenary for electric trains so amtrak is both diesel and electric. Answer: I live in NJ and I take Amtrak to the south. So from NJ to Washingto, DC it runs electric. Once in DC, they announce that the train will be switching over to diesel.
Amtrak operates five trains a day between Boston's North Station and Portland, ME on its Downeaster service. Twice a day the trains come from and go to Brunswick, ME from Portland. From Portland, riders can connect with Amtrak Thruway bus service to Bangor and Orono (University of Maine.)
All Amtrak trains except Acela Express are eligible for the 10% AAA discount. You must book at least three days in advance to receive the discount.
St. Augustine does not have Amtrak service. The closest Amtrak station is Palatka. There are two trains daily between Miami and Palatka.
Some, like the Acela Express do, but most others don't. Most of the ones that do are on the east coast. I live on the East Coast and I take Amtrak from New Jersey to the South. From New Jersey to Washington, DC Amtrak runs on electricity. In DC, Amtrak switches over to diesel to continue South.
I believe so as these trains are only domestically run
Amtrak train times can be found in several places. The first place one would look would be the Amtrak station itself. Another place to check would be Amtrak ticket vendors.
They're electric passenger trains used by Amtrak between Boston and Washington.
Yes, Amtrak long distance trains still have sleeping quarters for passengers. They come in several configurations on both Superliner and Viewliner trains. Unlike the sleeprs on many of the older trains they are private quarters many with toilets and showers. I have included a link below for the page on Amtrak where you can get more information.
