Amtrak's future of high speed travel is soon here! On May 28, 2020, Amtrak tested the Avelia Liberty— the name given to the new Acela built by Alstom in Hornell, New York—for
 the first time under its own power to Thorndale. The next day they ran again to Lancaster Station on the Keystone Corridor, Amtrak's Mainline between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This is perhaps the only time in history Amtrak's new Acela will
 run on this track, so we took full advantage to capture the move on our new 4K 60p camera in Ronks and Coatesville, Pennsylvania, mileposts 59.2 and 38.6 respectively, at the former Irishtown Road crossing and the stone arch viaduct, aptly named the Coatesville
 High Bridge. As a bonus, Norfolk Southern local H84 was on it's way up from Coatesville to W&N Junction while we were awaiting the Acela.
