Our Team

The AmeriStarRail management team is committed to delivering transportation innovation for Amtrak passengers with the most dramatic transformation of Northeast Corridor service since America’s first high speed trains, The Metroliners, began service between New York and Washington in 1969.

With a focus on innovation in five key areas: Service, Marketing, Technology, the Organization and Safety, our expertise will provide Amtrak passengers with fast, frequent, comfortable and reliable service. This will be achieved with a commitment to the highest standards for safety and service quality everyday on each Amtrak train.
