Amtrak has contracted with Siemens to build a new Sitras SFC Plus static   
   frequency converter for upgrading its Metuchen traction power facility in   
   northern New Jersey, along the Northeast Corridor. The order includes the   
   delivery, installation,    
   commissioning, and integration of two 30-megawatt multilevel converters into   
   the existing Amtrak 25-Hz traction power supply network to enable parallel   
   operation with Amtrak's existing converters.
