Amtrak Thursday announced it has hired Albrecht P. Engel to head up its new
high speed rail department so that Amtrak can expand its HSR opportunities.
Engel, an ardent supporter of U.S. high speed rail, comes to Amtrak from
AECOM.

“Engel has more than 40 years of experience in the rail transportation
business and over that time has been active in the study, advocacy, and
development of high speed rail projects,” said Amtrak. Engel was involved in
the launch of the highly successful *Acel*a service on Amtrak’s Northeast
Corridor 10 years ago.

Engel (pictured at left), currently vice president and high speed rail
director with AECOM, also serves on the American Public Transportation
Association (APTA) board of directors. He also has served as chairman of the
High Speed Ground Transportation Association.

“Al has considerable expertise, is a dedicated proponent for public
transportation, and shares our conviction that Amtrak plays a vital, leading
and necessary role in expanding and operating high speed rail service across
the country,” Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman said.

Said Engel in a statement, “Amtrak is an integral part of America’s high
speed rail future as highways and aviation networks reach capacity in our
urban areas. … I am very enthused to have this opportunity to work for
Amtrak and with national and regional leaders to help implement a new
balanced transportation vision for the U.S.”
