🎉 The construction of Portal North Bridge in NJ reached 50% completion! This milestone marks significant progress toward improved reliability and reduced delays for a better customer experience traveling along the Northeast Corridor. We couldn’t have achieved this milestone in partnership with NJ TRANSIT without the support of many other partners: Governor Murphy, the Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, the Gateway Development Commission, and other key stakeholders. Reaching the halfway point shows what strong investments, partnerships, and commitment can accomplish. Portal North Bridge sets the standard for modernizing America's rail infrastructure, ensuring faster and more reliable travel for millions of customers. #NortheastCorridor #Railinfrastructure #NJTRANSIT

They also discuss our new Acela trains currently in testing, which will redefine your travel experience.
