Amtrak's new high-speed Acela trains are coming soon to Boston, New York and Washington, D.C.
Amtrak's newest high-speed trains are coming soon to the Northeast Corridor. The "NextGen" Acela trains will start serving riders between Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. on Aug. 28. Five of the new trains will be hitting the rails initially. Amtrak says 28 NextGen Acela trains will be in service by 2027. The NextGen trains can reach top speeds of 160 mph, which is 10 mph faster than the current Acela fleet. They feature a "tilt system" that will help the trains navigate curves at high speeds. The new trains have plugs on every seat for riders to charge their devices, free high-speed Wi-Fi, reading lights, winged headrests for privacy and larger bathrooms. "It's a smoother, gentler, more comfortable ride" Amtrak Executive Vice President Eliot Hamlisch said. The new trains will allow for 27% more seats per departure, Amtrak says. Adding the NextGen trains will also allow for more weekday and weekend service. Other cities that will be served by the NextGen trains include Baltimore, Wilmington, Delaware; Philadelphia; New Haven, Connecticut and Providence, Rhode Island. In 2019, CBS News got a first look at the NextGen trains that Amtrak said would shave about 15 to 20 minutes off the busy route between New York and D.C. At the time, the company said it hoped to have the trains running by 2021. A 2023 watchdog report from the Amtrak Office of Inspector General on the years-long delay found that vendor's designs had not yet met federal safety requirements and the trainsets had defects that needed to be fixed.

Inside the first day of Paramount's new regime under David Ellison
Control of Paramount, the legendary but troubled TV and movie maker, shifted to Silicon Valley scion David Ellison on Thursday, following a protracted and politically tainted merger process. The transition was full of symbolism: The Redstone family, which built the company into a cable-era giant that lagged in the streaming era, handed off to the son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison. David Ellison, who headed the much smaller media company Skydance and is now CEO of the combined company, used the word 'tech' ten times in an introductory letter Thursday morning. He pledged to invest in Paramount's streaming businesses and upgrade the company's outdated technology systems. Ellison's first act as CEO was also symbolic: He visited the offices of Paramount's CBS News division, which was dragged through the mud by President Trump during the merger review process. Trump filed a legally dubious lawsuit against the newsmagazine '60 Minutes' last fall, prompting Paramount's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, to authorize her board to seek a settlement rather than fight the case in court. Redstone had hundreds of millions of dollars riding on the completion of the Paramount-Skydance merger, and many onlookers concluded that Paramount felt it had to pay off Trump to win administration approval of the merger. The ensuing $16 million settlement and the regulatory review approval were both announced last month, though officials involved in the matter denied that the two were connected. Trump told reporters that he also has an understanding with Ellison for CBS and other Paramount-owned channels to air public service announcements for Trump-aligned causes. Ellison was intentionally very quiet during the Trumped-up merger review process. Thursday was his first real chance to articulate his plan for the media company. 'We recognize that realizing our ambitions in today's dynamic and fiercely competitive global market won't be easy,' he wrote in his letter, noting 'generational change in our industry,' which Ellison, 42, is very much a part of. He named three priorities: 'Investing in our growth businesses anchored by our creative engines and superior storytelling,' 'scaling our direct-to-consumer business (Paramount+ and Pluto TV) globally,' and 'driving efficiency enterprise-wide with a focus on long-term free cash flow generation.' Employees are bracing for yet another round of layoffs since Ellison has also signaled to Wall Street that he expects 'to not only achieve — but meaningfully exceed — the $2 billion in real efficiencies we previously announced.' At CBS News on Thursday morning, he acknowledged the stresses of the past year, alluding to the '60 Minutes' lawsuit indirectly. He also expressed his admiration for the news division and the importance of 'fact-based journalism,' a person in attendance said. After brief remarks to the assembled journalists, he was given a tour of the '60 Minutes' offices. His letter also touted '60 Minutes' by name and nodded to the news division's 'storied' history. 'We take immense pride in CBS News' legacy of impactful journalism and look forward to continuing to foster a newsroom culture where journalists are empowered, trusted, and equipped to do their best work,' he wrote.
