    The trains seem to be of the quality of my old GMC.

    When I was on the train we were sharing the track with a non high speed train. To start the delay. We were stalled for hours not going anyplace while they worked on "things". Communication wasn't forthcoming. Work still had to pay for the Acela ticket, as a refund nor a discount were provided.
