View from an Amtrak Coach seat overlooking the Manhattan Bridge and New York City skyline, with overlaid white text reading, \u201COfficially made it through a whole trip in the Quiet Car without talking on speakerphone. You never know how strong you truly are until being strong is your only choice.\u201D

It's the end of an era! History was made Friday night when the last ever train traveled over the Portal Bridge in New Jersey, officially ending decades of delays for Amtrak and @NJTRANSIT customers with the retirement of the 116-year-old bridge forever. And it’s fitting it was a NextGen Acela train, as it’s truly out with the old and in with the new.

Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT crews are already hard at work for the second and final “cutover” to put the second track into service on the new Portal North Bridge over the Hackensack River. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting project!

The seat back of the new Business Class seats on the Cascades Airo train. The tray tables are down, as well as the new drop-down for electronic devices. A hand holds an electronic pen, preparing to use the device that is propped up. An Amtrak coffee cup sits on the new cup holder to the left of the tray table. Past that, a phone rests again the drop-down.
