The Metroliners were extra-fare high speed trains between Washington, D.C., and New York City from 1969 to 2006.[2][3] They were first operated by Penn Central Transportation, successor to the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later by Amtrak.
Originally using self-powered electric multiple unit cars (later replaced by locomotive-hauled cars due to decreasing reliability and other issues) the train had reserved business-class and first-class seating. A trip between New York's Pennsylvania Station and Washington, D.C.'s Union Station took 2.5 to 3.4 hours.[1]
Amtrak replaced Metroliner service with high-speed (150 mph or 240 km/h) Acela Express trainsets.
