they called the NYC trains hudson class they were not called the hudson class they were called the mohawk class fleet which was what the NYC was known for.
That's what Amtrak needs to do if passenger ridership is going to go up, make their own streamliner, people from all over would pay to ride one in contemporary times.
@KH990j Never thought of the Acela as "streamlined", I just thought of it as a faster high speed train for America, and tell me about it, RJ Corman down in Lexington, Kentucky is an example.
Most later steam locos, like the Big Boys, used mechanical stokers to feed coal into the firebox, although a little manual shoveling was required to keep the flame bed even.
Yes, shoveling coal isn't as easy as it looks, and yes, it's a good way to build up your arms

@SP4449Warbaby the Acela, but it's not advanced enough, plus I've seen better kept trains on short lines than on Amtrak.

@KH990j The Acela is OK but its basically a high speed commuter train.

@boazrg and they only travel along the northeast corridor, not the entire U.S. I think railroads could use more electrified systems.
