  • Why was a train from Germany is in America?

  • @FrogBoyMO, Amtrak tested the German ICE and Swedish X2000 prior to ordering the Acela.

  • did a german crew or an american crew run it, if american, was there a german specialist instructor or something?

    p.s. was it a revenue train?

  • @jfsa380, I presume that the Amtrak crews were qualified on the equipment as it was in revenue service as one of the Metroliners for a couple months and it went on a nationwide tour pulled by a pair of F69's.

  • mfw DB logo got replaced with amtrak

  • How come the ICE train isn't on the NEC anymore?

  • @MrZkr123 To be honest, the ICE alot faster than the Acela even if the Acela is tweeked (alot). The Americans slould stop, using all of there sceintists on war and more on transport.

  • @moredonutsforme I think it's 14 plus the locos so that's 16.

  • I would love to see German technology against Canadian-French on the NEC and German track.

  • @Lukelr

    The limit applies to tracks that are shared with freight trains.

    A dedicated passenger line (without grade crossings) would not be subject to that limit, but we don't have any of those yet.
