Actually, when the Acela was first being tested, it was capable of doing speeds over 200+ MPH... However, for safety reasons, the max speed it does with passengers on board is 150mph.
it would be cool, if they have trains to be able to do 200+ from L.A. to N.Y. in 15-20hrs. instead of 4-7 days. When will the DOT built passenger only rails across the U.S.? Alot of people dont like flying and would love to take the train, but takes days to get there, so they go by car which is quicker....
@phantomlord54 THAT WOULD BE A GOOD RACE!

Acela is eventually gonna need its own separate line so that it can be full throttle for the entire corridor
