A few new angles of several Acelas blowing through Kingston, RI at their top speed with some great horn from the engineers.

  • Ha Ha! The video's length is 1:50 long, the same number for the acela's speed! Good job! :)

  • Starting just after :25 I timed the acela start to finish a few times and came up with 

    3.8 seconds. The Acela is 663 feet long, so 663/3.8=174.5 fps, 174.5*60(min)*60

    (hour) divided by 5280'(mile)=119mph. That's pretty fast. I got a couple at 3.3 seconds which is close to 140mph

  • What kind of camera did you use?

  • "Train Approaching, Please Stay Remain The Yellow Line"

  • You have around 10 seconds after hearing the warning to save yourself. I think it's too short.

  • Aweosme Angle at 0:26!

  • @sideslide23 I just searched that and they are UGLY compared to the Acela expresses. I don't know why they can't just use the same type.

  • Hey, if theres an acela express at that station on May 22nd, please record it because it might be the one i'm going to ride.

  • Way cool video. Thanx

  • @AmtrakFanNEC927 soon or sooner those trains will lose the cables be better without them
