Is the new Amtrak station open yet?, and I heard that there is a new Acela. Is that running yet?

If only the neighborhood were to look as clean and welcoming in real life...
Oh, well, it's a start.
Here's a blur which I THINK is the new Acela being tested...

Classical façade enclosing modern style that reminds me an awful lot of the current Penn Sta.
The building was the former post office next to NYC Penn and was designed by the same architectural firm, McKim, Meade & White at the same time. They were the big famous architectural firm of NYC during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
I've seen photos of the interior. It is a very nice adaptive reuse.
The Farley Post Office main lobby is still in use by the postal service for retail trade. That puts the entrances at street level. A lot of low ceilings in the CGI clip.
I was working on a project with an engineering firm located in 1 Penn Plaza. This was the view out of their office windows. Photo was taken 3/7/18
