My error, as my lack of real train knowledge is showing here.
Someone pointed out to me it was not a Acela as this line is not electrified.
I had no idea that the Acela was a electric engine.
Anyway, it is a neat looking Amtrak train then.

On the C&O Canal list I am on, we are talking about places to eat while on the
trail, as many places in Hancock, MD come up, especially Weaver's who is noted
for great pies.
I never see any Pie talk here. LOL
Anyway, many of you know that I bike on the canal once a week and we see lots
of trains going along the canal between Brunswick and a little pass the
Monocacy River.
There was lots of train activity today, as I saw on one CSX engine what I think
must be a new slogan, "Moving for Tomorrow" something like that I am sure if I
did a Google search I would get it correctly. But probably someone knows the
slogan.
Also the Acela heads south to Washington while we ride on Sunday as it went by
at about 11:45 am. For anyone in the Frederick area or close by, who would like
to see the Acela, a good place to watch for it and other trains would be the
parking lot at Landers Lock House on the C&O Canal, as the CSX line is parallel
to the canal. Then take a short hike north about a 1/4 mile to see the
rebuilding of a aqueduct from 1832.
Landers lock house is on Landers Road which you get to from MD route 28 in
Frederick, MD.

Blueberries in the can that I stock up on every October while in Maine.
