Yes, Amtrak has electrical outlets on the vast majority of its fleet, making it a very commuter-friendly mode of transport. In standard Coach Class on most long-distance and regional trains (like the Northeast Regional or the Coast Starlight), you will find two 120V household-style outlets located along the wall for every pair of seats. This allows both passengers in a row to charge their laptops or phones simultaneously. In Business Class and First Class, outlets are guaranteed at every seat, and many newer or refurbished cars also include USB-A and USB-C ports. As of 2026, Amtrak is rolling out its new Airo and NextGen Acela trainsets, which feature significantly upgraded power options, including outlets integrated directly into the seat backs or armrests to prevent passengers from having to reach across their neighbors. Even in the Sleeper Cars (Roomettes and Bedrooms), multiple outlets are provided to power CPAP machines, laptops, and other devices. While the power is generally reliable, it is always a good idea to bring a portable power bank for very long journeys, as power can occasionally be interrupted during locomotive changes or technical resets.
