This month, Amtrak is recognizing the 10th anniversary of the Acela Express, the nation’s first high-speed passenger-rail service.

In fiscal-year 2010, Acela high-speed trains carried more than 3.2 million passengers and earned $440 million in ticket revenue. More than 25 million passengers have traveled on Acela during the past decade.

Traveling at speeds up to 150 mph, Acela provides hourly service during peak morning and afternoon rush hours between New York City, Washington, D.C., and intermediate cities. It also provides round-trips between New York City and Boston.
