TSW Compatible content released for a previous Train Sim World® - features may remain unchanged from the original release and may not make use of all newer core features.

America’s Fastest Train! Race along Northeast Corridor rails in iconic style, reaching incredible speeds through multiple states and suburbs. “Train approaching, please remain behind yellow line”, Amtrak’s Acela® blasts into Train Sim World®!

Celebrate American rail with the Train Sim World®: US Super Bundle!

Operate Amtrak’s flagship service on the Northeast Corridor. Beginning in 2000, the Acela service offers the fastest and most direct connection with the principal states that make-up the East Coast of the US. Competing directly with air travel, the Acela service features Business Class and First Class accommodations, and makes easy work of the route, being able to reach speeds, on limited sections, up to 150 mph.

The Acela trainset itself is a marvel of engineering. First taking shape in the late 1990s, the design is heavily derived from the famed TGV, albeit with changes to meet US requirements. The intermediate coaches are equipped with active tilting technology, easing the strain on passengers on tighter corners, allowing for travel at higher speeds. A total of 20 Acela trainsets were built specifically for use on the Northeast Corridor, carrying thousands of people every day.

Although next generation Acela II equipment is planned to start replacing the original Acela trains in the future, you can forever climb aboard this iconic trainset in Train Sim World®! Experience high-speed action on the fastest stretch between Boston and Providence or serve the megalopolis hub between New York and Trenton.

Please Note: For the full experience, we recommend you own Train Sim World®: Northeast Corridor: Boston – Providence and/or Train Sim World®: Northeast Corridor: New York - Trenton which are available as separate purchases.
