RENSSELAER - Rail passengers in New York and elsewhere will eventually be riding new Amtrak trains, including some that use environmentally friendly hybrid battery systems, and which offer enhanced amenities such as on board WiFi, self-serve food options and panoramic windows, Amtrak said on Wednesday.
That’s because Amtrak has reached a $7.3 billion deal with California-based Siemens Mobility Inc. to build a new fleet of up to 83 trains including 17 slated for New York.
