the only reason there is no highspeed in the US is because they rather have a dedicated line instead of just installing cab signalling on all the lines. Acela is not exactly what i call highspeed anyway. the Eurostar in UK can go from London to Paris in just 2 1/2 hours. making its average speed almost double what the Acela can do in its 530 miles from Boston to Washington DC (5hrs)
Shows again where rail is a necessity or marketable it works. The East is the best region for high speed rail. Not transcon and certainly not in California
What time does this pass through?

@spermdemon the Pacific Surflier corridor is the second busiest corridor in the country out side of the NEC.

The amtrak auto trains are as long as freight trains? About as long as the Chrisler Building.

Man that was sweet. I live out in Cali and I'm dying to see the autotrain one day.

One could seemingly have a 3 course dinner while waiting for the superliner cars *alone* to pass, let alone the entire train.
Good video. :)
