omg, thats like me standing on the far edge away from the platform as i can and a frieght train passing me at 80 MPH(which has happened to me) TIMES TWO!
@southern4501isawesom Well if we get the money it will be increased up to 110mph from Charlotte to Raleigh and 80mph from Raleigh to Washington DC. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
Those sparks are common with electric trains. I see them all the time on Baltimores Light Rail. And I may have seen at least 1 Amtrak train shoot sparks from the pantographs.
i dont blame you for moving back

Why run with both pans raised? Doesn't the Acela have a 25kv bus line between the power cars?

It's hard to believe that they let people stand that close to a 150 mph train. Unbelievable.
