I also have some hopes that perhaps when the new #Siemens #AmtrakAiro rolling stock shows up (scheduled for 2026), the issues with AC power and WiFi on my route will be mitigated, since it will be all new hardware.

Of course, the first new #trains will likely go to the #NortheastRegional, but hopefully the #Vermonter and #EthanAllenExpress won't lag too far behind.

And hopefully, the next administration will not tamper with the project. #travel
