The Amtrak Office of Inspector General has released a new report that says Amtrak’s rollout of new Acela trains will likely face future delays and cost increases.It cites Alstom, the manufacturer contracted by Amtrak to make the new train sets, saying the vendor’s designs have not yet met federal safety requirements. Additionally, the train sets the vendor has produced so far have defects it will need to fix or modify before Amtrak can launch revenue service of new Acela trains.Alstom is producing 28 new high-speed train sets for Amtrak under the contract. Amtrak has not accepted any of the train sets from the vendor as of August 2023, the report said.12 of the serial train sets and 22 cafe cars produced so far have defects, according to the report. Some are safety-related, including water drainage issues that cause corrosion.Other problems are more functional, including a report from the vendor that five windows on trains shattered spontaneously and hydraulic systems leaked.

Jackson to the Patriots, sending him back to where he began his career, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.Los Angeles is also sending a 2025 seventh-round pick to New England, in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because the trade had not been announced.Jackson has struggled during his short time in Los Angeles since signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract last year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes criticized his own performance four games into the season Wednesday, saying that the two-time and reigning league MVP must play better if Kansas City wants to defend its Super Bowl title.The Chiefs are 3-1 and atop the AFC West heading into Sunday’s game in Minnesota, but their most recent win over the Jets came largely in spite of the NFL’s biggest star. Mahomes was just 21 of 29 for 203 yards with a touchdown pass and two badly thrown interceptions, though he did make a couple of crucial plays with his feet late in the game to secure the win.It was the third time in four games Mahomes has failed to throw for more than 300 yards, and the only time he did was a 305-yard effort against Jacksonville, when the Chiefs offense managed just two touchdowns in slogging to a 17-9 win.“I just haven’t played very good to start the season,” said Mahomes, who threw for a franchise-record 5,250 yards with a league-leadin...Latest news
