Amtrak Acela Express - America's Fastest Train
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It is America's fastest train - the Acela! Take a look at a few clips of Amtrak's Acela Express train as it zooms along the North East Corridor. This train has a top speed of 150 miles per hour, and we will see Acela zoom through some of the fastest stretches of track on the line. Experience Acela!

I'm the Conductor of the noon Acela from Boston. When we reach the straight track south of Sharon Hill and make to the maximum speed of 240km, it's still very intense, even after 15 years.

America's rail system gets a lot of flak, most of it deserved. But the Acela Express is actually fantastic for what it does. It's one of Amtrak's most popular services, runs at a great profit and passenger load numbers, and gives domestic airlines on the East coast a serious run for their money. It's a shame that the line hasn't been completely overhauled and upgraded, since the Northeast Corridor is perfectly suited for High Speed Rail operations: many cities with large populations within hours of each other.

Why's everyone complaining that Amtrak are "only" doing 150mph? In the UK, our trains never usually go over 125mph, and even on our only high speed line are still limited to 140mph. I can think of many other countries around the world with far slower trains.

I have seen a few of the Acela High Speed trains in 2012 when I was train watching in Perryville, MD, it went at 150 MPH, when I rode on the Crescent from New Orleans,LA to Wilmington, DE on 9/19-20/2012 when I was traveling from Loser City Tucson,AZ to attend my 40 year High School class reunion, the Crescent went 130 MPH to 150 MPH between Baltimore & Wilmington,DE.
great video, this train has a very nice look! maybe better than our high speed trains here in Italy.. I love it
Fantastic job capturing the Acela Express train!
Hi from France to America ! Even if that train is not so fast than our TGV, i consider it as a fast train compared to previous american trains. Travels are now shorter than before and are less expensive than plane, and connect town center between them. In the future, your trains will be even faster than nowadays. USA go !

+Vaas Montenegro The Acela is just as fast as most high speed express trains in Europe, its top speed is 150mph, which is 241kph. Soon the speed limit will be raised to 165mph, or 265kph. Yes there are quite a few trains in Europe and Aisa that are faster, but the majority are the same speed as this. And it isn't really that much slower than the latest and greatest high speed trains that aren't a maglev. I think they travel at about 320kph/198mph. Its only a 35mph difference, and it gets the job done. That's the thing, everyone wants the US to build a "real" high speed train, but what it has does the job fine.

1:34 for a solid 5 seconds, i thought that was a MARC I dont know why the hell do people constantly complain about Acela. it makes no sense. the line it runs on has a lot of sharp turns, what the hell would you expect? The US has a lot of space between its cities, as such it is more efficient to use aircraft or a vehicle that does not require so much infrastructure. European nations are small, so planes would be out of the question. Same goes for many asian nations. Population density is high, and as a result, trains are most efficient. but in sparsely populated nations, like Canada or the US, trains arent as efficient. The reason we dont have high speed travel in other states is that the rail lines that exist out there are owned by private freight lines. High speed rail would not benefit them, so they wont upgrade the tracks. They do what they want witthe tracks, Amtrak just has to go with it. Take this into consideration next time you watch a video of US rail lines.

Well I thought it got along at a pretty respectable pace. All things relative. I live in Australia, large area with many State Governments much like the U.S. Very difficult to get a national approach to a high speed rail network to cover such vast distances. European countries, Japan and the UK isles are much smaller areas and therefor much easier to achieve what we long to have. Still, we do well with what we have :) Cheers.

Love this video, I’m from Scotland & they Acela Express Trains remind me of the British Rail Class 390 Pendolino Trains, they also sound alike, would love to see this for myself!
you see, when you are watching a train video, its not even half as powerful as the real thing, so when you are watching oe of these videos, just keep that in mind, and also bring to heart that these people spend about 30 minutes just to wait for about 3-5 seconds of pure amazement, and they wont get that for another while, and it takes at least a few days to get a good solid 5 minute video. So give respect for these people
They badly need to expand Acela lines to nationwide services. Or at least between certain cities. Like I’d love to have a Midwest corridor. Milwaukee, Chicago, St.Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, and finally Pittsburgh with connecting lines through Pennsylvania and New York to the north east corridor. Definitely encourage more travel between cities on day trips or smaller trips.
It would be nice if Amtrak expanded Acela all over the nation🚄
