I agree but the problem is that our American rail infrastructure was never built for high speed trains. Hence why there's no fencing or that much corner tilting at all on the NEC. Building fences along the whole NEC would cost another few million and tearing up all the corners to replace them with tilts would not only cause massive delays, (this is because many parts of the journey are two tracks only) but would also cost millions to billions more.

On attend aussi en France les futurs Avelia, ce film permet d'avoir une bonne image de ces nouveaux trains à grande vitesse. Ils ne rouleront pas plus vite que les actuels TGV, mais ils seront plus modulables et moins coûteux pour la SNCF. Beau film !

I don't have a problem with the horn; in fact, the horn change signals a CHANGE from the Acela. (And I've heard worse - and from AMTRAK, no less; the Budd Metroliners and the Turboliners - both in 1979.)

American should take a full advantage of train travel instead of Road and Air... The experience is amazing!

I like the drone!

This one make the same sound of the TGV(french high speed train) i love the desine of this train

Hopefully it gets a better sounding horn before going into revenue service

The dual tone horn is proven easier to hear which is why its used on police cars, fire engines, etc in Europe, but the American style train horn is iconic

Apart from two sections of the track, the train travels about same speed as regional one, less stops but only saving half an hour, paying twice the cost and better caliber of passengers.

It needs to run faster like close to 175 to 200 MPH. If Japan Rail were to run the Northeast corridor, the trains would be running at 200 MOH, and the line would be electric all he way to Norfolk, VA, Newport News, VA & Charlotte, NC and there would be a lot more high speed trains running and high speed lines being built.

This line should have all railway crossings eliminated; the train should pass over or under the crossing so that the train never needs to slow down. This change to the line would be expensive but worth it the long run for spend and saving lives.

Good shorts and horn

Amtrak seems to be doing a lot of testing on these new trains. Do they plan on wearing them out before they're put into service? :/

cool!

The old Acela horn sounds better then the new one (that’s my opinion)

1. All the comments about the horn... The train shouldn't be using the horn at all! Because the tracks ought to be grade separated all the way. ;) 2. Looks way better when using the tilting than I thought it would. I thought it would look weird that the cars tilt while the engines don't, but it don't. 3. Even the original Acela trains are capable of so much better speeds than most of the tracks allow. New trains are good, upgrading the tracks is better. Higher cost for less flashy results, I guess - so less political will to do it. But we all know the real improvement to speeds will come from tracks being grade separated, straightened, & modernized - and the signalling system being updated to ERTMS. 4. Dat Journal Square tower! Manhattan rules all skylines, but Jersey City on its own is steadily building up a skyline that outshines so many cities.
