R160BExpress, they are allowed to go 150mph but can go 162mph

[TEMPLE7D]

[TEMPLE7D]

did any1 notice the last train had a comet II cab car

[TEMPLE7D]

also somtime the p32s go to croton harmon and switch to a p42 or they keep both

[rangers1030]

@TEMPLE7D no p42's

[kaizerzydeco]

Amtrak's Genesis units really hit their stride on the Canadian side where they try to make up for lost time, since the Maple Leaf is nearly always late crossing the border. They blow through GO Transit Lakeshore Line stations at 90-100 mph with nary a toot on the horn.

[R160BExpress]

damn those amtrak empire can go very fast,like yesterday i was at new jersey those things can be fast it almost blew my hat off

[bebo2good1]

Yup! Thats why i love the Genesis. Fast like sh*t! Even tho I wanna see how fast Acela is .

[R160BExpress]

doesnt the acela go like almost 100 mph?

[bebo2good1]

i'm not even sure. Must go passed that or around. Which is really fast. Kinda like airplane.

[TEMPLE7D]

@bebo2good1 lol airplane usally have a cruise speed of 200mph now adays

[Staytec]

@bebo2good1 some spots in MA(maybe) or RI (definitely) they hit 150 mph. and i think they stay around 90 through the rest too. especially in CT. i know it does BOS to NYC in about 3.5 hours.

[TEMPLE7D]

in conneticut it reaches speeds of 150mph

[Nexis4Jersey]

only 110 in CT , thanx to your neglectful CTDOT

[TEMPLE7D]

oh really--ive seen a vid of it doin 150--im sure it wasnt 110

[Nexis4Jersey]

It goes 150 in certain spots , in NJ it goes 130 along most of its route

[malikrthr1]

this is not the acela. This is the amtrak empire corridor. The acela runs along the new haven line and splits then goes toward the hellgate bridge into penn station.

[MrZkr123]

@R160BExpress they go 150mph and P32AC-DM's and P42's go 110mph

Nice Catch of the Amtrak train barreling down at a fast and furious pace and then passing the M7-train. Then good catch of the CONNDOT cars used up on this perticular train, I'm sure this train has worked the New Haven Line all the way to Old Saybrook CT
