- Siemens
Last October, Amtrak announced their proposal to purchase 70 Sprinter ACS-64 electric locomotives from Siemens to use in their Northeast and Keystone Corridor lines. This past week, it was revealed that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will be giving Amtrak a $562 million loan under the Federal Railroad Administration’s Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) program to help get them on their way.
