Amtrak has announced a partnership with Dunkin' Donuts to offer coffee options during Acela Express high-speed train journeys along the Northeast Corridor.
Dunkin' Donuts will offer original blend and decaf hot coffee varieties to the 3.4 million customers who ride Acela Express trains each year. The coffee selections will be brewed the same way they are inside the stores and then served all day in First Class and Café Acela.
There is already a strong commitment to airports and train stations by Dunkin' Donuts, but the addition of coffee products on specific Amtrak trains further cements the company's dedication to travelers.
"Both Amtrak and Dunkin' Donuts share a long heritage of serving on-the-go Americans, and we are thrilled for the opportunity to help keep Acela Express passengers energized with Dunkin' Donuts hot coffee whenever and wherever they are traveling," Dunkin' Donuts vice president Chris Fuqua said in a statement.
"As the brand that keeps America running, we are excited that Acela Express now runs on Dunkin'."
Amtrak has also announced that it plans to offer Dunkin' Donuts hot coffees on all of Amtrak's Northeast Regional trains that operate throughout the Northeast Corridor by the end of 2017.

In addition to quality coffee, passengers on the Acela Express will be able to enjoy more legroom, spacious seats, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The Amtrak trains offer hourly service between New York City, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia and other intermediate cities.
"Amtrak takes pride in enriching the customer experience with premium services and brands, and offering Dunkin' Donuts hot coffee aboard all of our Acela Express trains is just the latest example of this on-going commitment," Amtrak vice president Thomas Hall said in a statement.
"No matter where our customers are traveling, providing a high-quality coffee experience on board is another reason why Amtrak is the smarter way to travel."
