Acela Express 2167 flys through Kingston at 150 MPH

[ShrinehillRail]

That is a great shot and although fast I believe it to be about 80 to 90 MPG from a lot of the video I have watched. from Newman

[matthew2548]

Was that 150

[Amtrakrailfan23]

dude, that is sick. great catch.

[afamguy324]

actually this is 150mph. this is one of three areas in the NEC where they can travel at 150mph

[creaton1976]

That is not 150 miles an hour. Id say 70.

[juvmol]

150 MPH ?? mmm semms to be little slower

[gsotodotcom]

Thats no where near even 100 miles an hour on that video.

[idiotman76]

wobble

[sideslide23]

those new high speed trains is comming to California it will double the speed of acela, if washington and new yourk has the 150 MPH trains, and California is getting a 300 MPH then what about the rest of the state in the United State? I'm shure that Texas would need it.

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

300MPH my ass, I like how everyone tries to discredit this train by talking about how much better European trains are. Do you see a EUROPEAN train here? NO! Stop Talking about them, and second, the speed on that stupid California high speed rail hasnt even been disclosed yet.

[weatherman001]

By the way, Sweet Video! I taught they only ran Acelas at like 125 mph, Guess not!

[weatherman001]

I love the Acela, but it would be awesome if they did that thing where they bring over trains from Europe and Asia and run them on our tracs. Like in 1992 with the German Ice1 and polish X2000. This time they could bring over the Ice3 and possibly a TGV from France or Shinkansen JR500 from Japan. Sadly they would run them at lowered speeds. =(

That would rock if they updated the tracks in the US, so we can run US made bullet trains in all of the US, like they are doing out in California!

[NeutralVista]

Acela is absolutely gorgeous.

[indianrailways]

This train is made in Canada by Bombardier Transportation who are the suppliers for TGV also.

[slashmaster2]

That wasn't 150 mph ass hole! They don't run trains at 150 mph next to a station platform.

[amtrak905]

They sure as hell do asswipe! Look again

[mugshotesp]

this guy own a radar gun and has clocked that train running at 154 mph.

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

thats actually me, lol

[mase5701]

yes they do here

[acelaboy123]

that might be just the dirt

[dashloc]

Looks like sanding after the station.

[murjax]

I love having two angles of the same train lol.

[AmtrakFanNEC927]

Nice!!! I was in the overpass 4 this 1 :D
