@Owen Bailey-Waltz I had an Audi RS6 and love high speed rail. For distances up to 800 miles rail is better than airplanes. You can go from city center to city center without the hassle of airports. Once you ride fast trains in Europe or Asia you will understand

A testament to design, engineering, maintenance, and refurbishment, I'm always astonished at how well the Amfleet cars have held up over what has literally been 40+ years.

I love the Keystone trains with the yellow/black at the end. I would love to have an N-scale version of that.

@Budder Shark "the train would need to be adapted to North American railroad standards" As if this would be a big problem.... 1) Railway manufacturer all over the world adapt their products to the standards of "foreign" railroads on a daily basis - and nobody kicks up a fuss about it, it is simple common practice. 2) The adaption to american standards mainly concerns an adaptation to the below-average track layout and a reduction of the permitted speed..

@red2theelectricboogaloo961

i doubt that. most of the reason that they aren't going any faster is that the tracks are all wibbly-wobbly and therefore have restrictive speed limits making it hard to really "go fast" with any trainset. maybe it would've been *faster*, but i doubt anyone would be "blown away from such speed"

even with cwr, you need to have joints for signal blocks.

Thank you for not zooming out and in as the train approaches and passes. For me that kills the sense of speed and feels unnatural. I spent years watching Metroliners on the NE Corridor, and my eyeballs have no zoom function. Your camera work matches the actual visual experience.

I don't know why we don't have this all over the US. What about high speed freight using the same technology. The US is so far behind the fossil fuel, and automotive industry have kept us behind.

I really wish they could expand electrification outside of the NEC or at least have another small corridor outside of it that’s electrified like the surfliner trains. I really want high speed trains in the US, but a lot of the cities are too far apart outside of the NEC and trackage rights belong to the freight railroads.

that platform does seem very narrow if they're going at full speed like at 1:16.

When you see a 7 car Acela you’re seeing the geometry car on that train. It’s used to test track conditions. It’s added to an Acela set every once in a while when doing testing and then removed. It does not carry regular passengers.

(The one time I was booked on them (Philadelphia - New Carrolton), the overbooking had already begun, and you could NOT get a seat boarding in Philadelphia, and were lucky to get one if someone got off @ Baltimore. It is why I never - as in ever - booked on Acela Express the whole time they have been in service pre-Covid-19. The only reason I'll be taking one this summer is to get it in before Acela21 replaces them - and I have never been to NYC.)

Super nice video. America should really straighten the whole line of NE corridor. We don't need any 150mph plus speed. But please make at least 95% 120mph capable. CT part really sucks.
