Amtrak celebrated the topping out of the steel structure for its new maintenance and inspection facility in Seattle, marking the placement of the final steel beam and an important construction milestone at King Street Yard. The new facility will be used to maintain the Airo trainsets due to debut this year.

In South Carolina, Amtrak has completed improvements at both Camden and Denmark, both of which are served by the Chicago–Miami Floridian. In Camden, improvements include a new 600-foot concrete boarding platform, as well as new walkways, ramps, lighting, and signage. In Denmark, passengers will enjoy a new 240-foot platform, as well as new lighting, walkways, and signage. The station upgrades are part of the ADA Stations Program that covers 134 stations and 66 construction projects across the country. The program will wrap up in 2029.
