Thank you to the teams at B&P Tunnel Replacement Program, @Amtrak, and the @MarylandDOT for hosting us on a tour of this transformative project. It was incredible to see its progress firsthand and to learn more about how the new tunnel will strengthen connectivity throughout the region, improve reliability along the #NortheastCorridor, and support tens of thousands of jobs during construction.

After decades of planning & years of construction, the new Portal North Bridge is carrying trains across the Hackensack River, replacing the 116-year-old Portal Bridge that often causes delays & is beyond its useful life. Congratulations @Amtrak and @NJTRANSIT! #NortheastCorridor

[Amtrak @Amtrak]

After celebrating Portal North Bridge last week with a ceremonial trip on Thursday with @NJTRANSIT and its early entry into service on Friday, today marks the first official day trains are traveling over the new bridge.

As our President, Roger Harris said, “You’ve heard about the benefits that this new bridge will bring for a more reliable trip, and now it’s finally time to start experiencing them.”

✔️ Portal Cutover work has been completed, and regular schedules have resumed!

M&E and MOBO monthly passes to/from Hoboken will be valid for travel to NYC for the remainder of the month.

[Amtrak New Era of Rail @AmtrakNewEra]

Our B&P Tunnel Replacement Program recently achieved a major milestone for construction of a new 345-foot-long utility tunnel that runs under the Northeast Corridor (NEC) railroad tracks.

Last month, our contractor "broke through" the final section of rock pillar separating both sides of the tunnel.

The siphon tunnel is an essential enabling project for the future Frederick Douglass Tunnel. Once complete, it will carry key water, sewer, communication, and electrical utilities beneath the existing and future NEC railroad tracks.

Can't get enough of the behind-the-scenes work of the Portal North Bridge Cutover with @NJTRANSIT?

You're in luck - a new video dropped! So, get your popcorn ready and enjoy. Shoutout to our crews who continue to work around the clock to get the work done as we remain on schedule.

Rebuilding the #NortheastCorridor while accommodating millions of riders is a constant balancing act. The NEC saw record spending, rising ridership, and steady service trends in FY25Q4. Learn more in the Quarterly Report: https://t.co/uKjb8qNbbK

Behind the scenes at the Airo Fleet First Look event today w/ @USDOT, @USDOTFRA, and @SiemensMobility.

Airo trains represent a new generation of passenger rail, designed to improve comfort, reliability, connectivity, and capacity as demand for rail travel continues to grow.

From @Amtrak_Cascades to the Northeast Regional, this is how Amtrak is modernizing the national network and preparing for the future of travel.
