@tuopadrino

Our passenger rail has fallen behind, but our freight rail system still smokes anything they have. Of course that probably means nothing to you.

It sucks that America is so far behind in rail technology. As a nation we seem to have lost the will to invest in ourselves.

@reaperexpress In Britain, we want to put linespeeds of the West COast Mainline from 125 to 140 or at least 135 so in cab signalling won't be required but they see it as better to replace the line with the worlds fastest high speed railway...

[reaperexpress]

@glitch4465 Although the Acela is more flashy than most domestic services in the UK, it actually averages a lower speed than many British intercity services, only actually travelling at 150mph for a few minutes. And going from 125 to 130 mph in the UK is a big deal, because it crosses the boundary into High Speed Rail, which legally requires much higher quality track, overhead, and signals.

My dad is a conductor for an mbta train...maybe that could have been him in 1 of those

Good vid! But it's amazing what high speed that can be attained even with older steam technology - watch?v=0aJiDiZ_VPM

I wish they would build these in los angeles, i WOULD LOVE TO GO ON ONE :)

[glitch4465]

I dont see why America can run high speed trains on normal lines when we in Britain cant get out trains to go from 125 mph to 130 mph....
