@waldron728 it means paying passengers are aboard

Pretty cool.

5*****!

I should also add that Acela is as heavy as it is because it shares trackage with freight trains for almost all of its run, whereas ICE and TGV trains spend very little time on shared trackage. Even if Amtrak weren't in the picture, the trains would be heavy. The ICE and X2000 trains that tested here ran under FRA waivers because European trains do not meet US buffing standards (about 800,000 pounds of compression) and collision resistance standards.

That's cool, but it is _few_. That's 4% of US population.

souls? wat is this 1775 common

Thank you walterrich. So you mean that there are times the Acela operates when its not carrying passengers?
-
Yeah, I don't know why I posed this question - I already know the answer. The overhead catenary network is very old and probably needs a total overhaul. To my knowledge, all the tracks along the NEC have been updated with concrete ties and continuously welded rail

Previous clips had been from testing runs. The train went into revenue service carrying paying customers in December 2000
