I had a good look thanks. In order for Acela to run faster than it is now, the Northeast Main Line needs to be speeded up, but the answer is to build a dedicated high-speed train line between Washington DC-New York-Providence.(When upgrading existing railroads, there must be absolutely no railroad crossings in all areas.) If you have to make it underground inevitably along the existing route along the beach, you have to boldly make it an underground route. In addition, the routes are extended to Ottawa-Scranton-Maryland-Washington D.C., Providence-Portland-Bangor-Holton, and Washington D.C-Richmond-Goldsboro-Wilton. . Washington D.C-Charlotte-Atlanta-New Orleans-Galveston-Corpus Christi-Mexico City-Acapulco I hope that the high-speed rail will be built to make Washington D.C-Mexico City faster and closer. For the success of the high-speed rail construction in the USA!

Poggers bro these video are always so cool keep up the work

amazing capture

Wish we could have something like this in Chicago (besides the Metra Electric)

This is a place I absolutely need to get to again since the speed limit for Acelas has increased

Nice Amtrak catches

It’s a lovely sight to see the Acela at 150

Nice footage

When you learn to drive, one of the first things taught is to travel at a speed that you can get stopped from in the distance you can see ahead.

My question is, why can't they just use the Keystone cab cars on Northeast Corridor Regional services? It would be much easier than having to run around with the loco. That's what cab cars are designed for...

It’s a shame that Amtrak didn’t keep the X2000 or buy some sort of Pendolino train, they would’ve really helped with a number of issues like sharp curves and time management.

Compared to other countries yeah. But in the last few years Amtrak has really stepped up their game. It’s harder for us since public transportation doesn’t get as much government subsidy as other countries, not to mention it’s a private sector lol

The 150-160mph is fast enough!! You don't need a airplane on the tracks!! GERMANYS ACS64F LOCOMOTIVE Hit 225mph in a test run, with no trouble!! It outweighs the one AMTRAK has!! It's a BRUTE!! STRONGER TOO!! A Locomotive is to scary to go at those 150-160mph speeds, that's mainly why they build ACELAS and multiple unit cars to hit those speeds!! They're less scarier, if they're doing high speed on the local tracks for some maintenance reason!! The force a locomotive exerts is phenomenal!! Anyhow the our AMERICAN MADE METROLINER OF THE 1960'S-1979 WERE WAY MORE SWIFTER THAN THE ACELA OR THAT NEW UGLY AVELIA. There top speed on there odometer was 160mph!! But they could do more. Also our GG1 LOCOMOTIVE could easily do over 200mph and hold the road too!! It weighed almost 480,000 lbs!! We had HIGH SPEED GO-GETTERS BEFORE THIS NEW STUFF CAME OUT!! THAT'S just two aspects of AMTRAK THAT WERE WAY AHEAD OF THERE TIME!! They should be roaming now, if the ELECTRICIANS could keep up, in reinventing the wheel, to keep them running,modifying their components here and there!! But they failed to do so!!!

Definitely not on the corridor. You can only upgrade a conventional rail line for high speed running at 150 to 160 mph but after that, you’re going to need to build a new railroad because running trains at 200 mph on track shared by slower regional and commuter trains would be incredibly dangerous and irrational. Which is why in countries like Germany that along with dedicated high speed rail lines has upgraded conventional rail lines to run at high speed, the trains on those lines are limited to 155mph

first

those trains are going too fast, thats how accidents happen amtrak is reckless you know that
