One word: wow!

All of the catenary in CT is owned by the state DOT and it is completing upgrades now. Problem is 300,000+ people per day ride MetroNorth into Stamford & NYC so congestion is the cause for the low speed limits in Fairfield County (80 mph). It is 4 tracks into NYC. It is a stated goal to get Acela up to speed thru this section.

just like the old days :D it'll be nice to see trains like this everywhere, its where we should have been in the 50s-60s
-
I hope we get high speed trains in the midwest, but I won't hold my breath. The government sucks when it comes to funding Amtrak and it really pisses me off.
-
I can't tell the difference at such high speeds, but I saw another video showing an Acela at 150. This looks to be the same speed.
-
Let's just hope that Amtrak play it's cards right unlike the past in which we don't need. I do believe Amtrak has a fighting chance to survive.

-
well maybe but more than likely it will happen but the question that stands where will the bypasses be located? as for the mnrr im not sure whos operates or what railroad .
-
does that mean a whole load of upgrading will be done...i always thought the problem was speed restrictions in CT will they be upgrading the metro north aswell?

Anyone in America that believes that it is not time to resurrect our railroad passenger service has to be a complete idiot.
Do you realize that if we had trains like this between Atlanta and New York City at 150 miles per hour you could make the trip in approximately 7 hours, and that is allowing for stops that would total 1.5 hours. Otherwise you could do it in 5.8 hours. That is less time than going to the airport, parking your car, and flying.
America needs to get with the program.

One of the reason you have issues with high speed rail is because in the South they could not afford to build overpasses so they built only crossings. Where as in the Northeast they built overpasses which allows the trains to run much faster.
The South needs to get with the program.
