Amtrak on Tuesday announced multiple upcoming procurement packages for new support facilities in Seattle, Boston, New York City and Washington, D.C.
The new and renovated facilities will be designed to improve trainset maintenance, repairs, inspection and cleaning tasks for Amtrak’s existing and future fleet, including new Acela, Airo and long-distance trains, Amtrak officials said in a press release.
"These modern maintenance facilities are an essential part of Amtrak’s plans to introduce new state-of-the-art passenger trainsets around the country," said Norman Forde, Amtrak vice president of project delivery fleet and facilities.
In addition to the four maintenance facilities, several others are planned, including one in Philadelphia that's now in the procurement phase with an active request for proposals.
Additional information is available in the "advance notice to the construction industry" published on Amtrak's procurement portal.
