Acela free wi-fi to start March 1 on all high-speed trains
 One month from today, free wi-fi will be installed on all high-speed Acela trains, Cliff Cole, an Amtrak spokesperson, told NewYorkology by e-mail this morning.
The plan is for a “full roll out on the Acela Express trains on March 1st,” he said.
Previously Amtrak had announced it planned to offer the wi-fi starrting sometime in March. At least initially, the wi-fi will be free to all customers on the Acela trains, which travel the Washington D.C.-New York - Boston corridor several times a day.
Plans are also in the works to upgrade the interior of all Acela Express trains to improve power outlets, tray tables and leather seating, according to a January news release from Amtrak.
