Next time I go to the area I'll do it that way, the rain and the water were messing with it at that time. Beforehand it was doing well so I didn't anticipate it.

a tip : watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

@Reuben Corey Yea, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :D

@Reuben Corey definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)

Niklas Enblom that’s a nice tidbit I forgot about that train for a minute. It’s one of the original high speed train sets that we borrowed for a time

GallardoFreak888 Thank you.

👏

Yes that was the Amtrak Autumn Express from 2016

@@GallardoFreak888 how rare was that

Used to happen every year, but last year as of now was the last one. They use two heritage units and 642 Veterans unit for use in the tunnels on the NEC

Shahed MC it’s only for a few minutes at a time and only in 3 sections I imagine that the Eurostar and others have higher overall average speeds

Eurostars and Javlins only get up to 140 on HS1, and they're the fastest trains get in the UK. For now anyway.

Would love to see the US have a proper high speed network like in Europe, for example HS1 or TGV lines in France 👍🏻

Yeah but just remember the rest of the trains in the US are really slow on the other mainlines but in the UK trains can still go 60+mph on those mainlines.

Euro trains are still way cooler than us trains

John DiPietro thanks John, I believe that is right but it was miserable that day so anything could’ve been possible

Probably explains why he was going so fast.

The Acela's are not at 150mph through Manfield. They run at exactly 145mph in both directions through Mansfield. Trains out of the Sharon Curve are still speeding up..... Trains heading toward it are coasting......

There is a lot of level crossing in america, so trains can't go fast anyway

@@odurandina That is not correct. Going east i am always going 150 through Mansfield and not even touching the brake until i'm at the old Merckens Chocolate building. Going west on dry rail 147-148 is the norm through Mansfield.

average being the key word, average speed is 75mph on the acela, its only 150mph for a few minutes

@@ce1834 No, it's not. I run them daily. In a 228 mile run i assure you my average speed is NOT 75 MPH. This whole "Average speed" nonsense stems from people who look at the mileage and then the time it takes to get from point A to point B but totally ignore stations stop times and padding built into the schedule to deal with traffic.

супер шершень thank you 🙏🏽

Trains Of Kansas thanks it’s a great memory I like having

That's me lol

lol

That equates to about 241 Euros.

Thank you

@Amtrak Surfliner 451 It was only a joke!

It’s annoying

Actually I was a far back on the elevated platform as possible given that the trains here have serious power as shown with the eastbound train.

I agree. In germany maximum speed on platforms is 200 km/h (124 mph) and the lines are much wider. And on platforms where trains pass faster there are barriers along the line. Fastest track on a platform is 230 km/h (143 mph). Something like shown in that video would be unimaginable.

@@WKPExpressMovies Agree again! That all too narrow yellow strip at the edge of the platform I've seen all over a place. It must be one company that makes it, with them thinking "one size fits all." I think the problem in the U.S. are companies, transportation agencies, governments, etc., are too concerned about their customer service image, so it's all "please" and "thank you." For a train track, forget about the "please" and "thank you." Just say, "If you stand too close, you'll die an agonizing death." That will get people's attention.

We like to be reckless. 😉

ruzzell907 it’s still high speed because it reaches the high speed category, however overall it’s average speed is not a representation of what it could be doing

Thank you very much! Glad you like !

elponyproductions we’re in the process of seeing Acela Express II so it’ll be much different

Mansfield ma to attleboro is 150, then Mansfield to readville is 130 then to back bay is about 110

Last I heard it was rumored that they want to add a section in NJ where they have a very straight section but it hasn't amassed yet.

Hebronville MA to just east of Mansfield MA is 150. Then 130 to Readville. Then 120 into Boston

@@GallardoFreak888 past the nec @ north Elizabeth its 111.

@@humanityvortex Not sure what you mean by "Past the NEC" but there is nowhere on the NEC where the speed is "111". We have ZERO locations where the speed does not end in "0" or "5".

they can do 180mph, but the infrastructure will not be able to handle it, so they are limited at restricted speeds

@Jack Liberman The new Avelia's have a top speed of 186mph (220mph with the tilting deactivated) but will intially only be run at 160mph until infrastructure is upgraded. They new train-sets are essentially homologized TGV/Pendolino hybrids.

@@DAViDD767 no the acela can't do 180 mph it was only built with a maximum speed of 165 mph and a regular top speed of 150 mph

@Jack Liberman while simultaneously testing the avelia they're also upgrading the track, you can tell that most track has been upgraded so far just by how new and clean it looks

@@austinandthatgreen2310 not true they tested the Acela over 170mph so that proves at has a higher top speed but infrastructure can’t allow that.

It's loosely based off of that with heavy modifications

Alwan Tamalus don’t let it fool you lol it was just a horrible day made better by this meet.

Parts of New England look a bit like Old England.

Lasik Sie it’s powerful

they can't do 150 mph due to gearing limitations, and there are no P42DC's in this clip only Acela Express

I was just talking about the intro and yea they can only reach a speed of 79 mph I think.

Kahsi E unknown Sewer they’re all able to do 110 mph P32AC-DM, P40DC, P42DC. This is due to the gearing of the engines. All P40DC’s have been updated to essentially P42DC specifications. Originally the P40’s were limited to 103 mph from their internal code name AMD103

That Michael Guy that’s something I hope never happens ever and with PTC that will be nearly impossible

I think this entire video is proof of both meets, how are you so sure they weren't doing "even 100mph"

@@GallardoFreak888 - I saw no trains actually meeting at the same time at the camera's location. I often railfan Amtrak's Northeast Corridor in New Jersey, where track speed is 150 mph (240 km/h). These trains weren't going nearly that fast.

HEDA this it the first generation Acela, the Avelia has a much different look and livery

Halfway Gamer 2.5 it’s a KZfaq song, called sugar

@@GallardoFreak888 thanks

It's a youtube song called sugar

RD4590 For my surprise this speed is true. For instance first pass as camera lost focus. Acela trainset has length of 203 meters. It took 3 seconds since first part of Acela passed first point of yellow line and the same for last part of Acela. Now the math. 203 meters divided by 3 seconds gives speed 67,66 m/s. After conversion this means either 244 km/h or 152 MPH, which is quite close to Acela's max speed.

They have been going this fast here for 20 years. It's nothing new.

@@FFred-us9tw I would guess thats its a small percentage

240 kph, it's a high speed train alright. Hopefully the newest Acela coming soon will be able to be certified in the 3 regions that see 150mph currently up to higher speeds than that currently.

@@GallardoFreak888 oh yeah there are new trains coming next year :D ok

@Ploke Newo78 but will the rails support that "high speed"?? :/

Guys, Amtrak is upgrading the Northeast Corridor for the New Acela Express cars... Also, so that the new Acela Trains would go faster than the Used ones right now..

350km/h? Nope, we're limited to under 310km/h because of the TVM signaling

You whole USA or North America have to be made high speed rails or bullet trains.

Like Europe,Japan,or China.

You whole USA or North America have to be made high speed rails or bullet trains.

@@sporshobin3157 You think the rural and plateau areas in China like Tibet have high speed rail? Okay, keep thinking it your own delusional way, this is high speed rail, if it isn't, I don't know what it is

@@sporshobin3157 well guess what? This is not one of them countries. And I wouldn't want 300 mile an hour trains in America anyways
