for too long the airline industry has controlled the transport of people. It takes too long to de-plane, the politics are also making it difficult to fly. This nation desperately needs high speed rail. Not the #Acela east coast "ooh look 100mph" but mag-lev class. 300 mph or more
Going through the pictures taken last October, when travelling on board the new #Amtrak 🇺🇸 #NextGenAcela high-speed train on the “Northeast Corridor” to New York. This #Alstom #Acela is a close relative to the future French #TGV, and it’s actually quite stylish. Top speed was above 250 kph.
Was on #acela NYC to BOS once, with #Bose big headphones on with music. Person was so loud, I got up and said “been hearing you, know industry and you keep dissing ‘John’. Know who he is, having lunch next week with him and got your name BYE”. (Made up). Got applause
I feel like such a nerd, but a train and a good book are a great way to spend the morning! #amtrak #acela.
Get aboard The #Acela! The trainset consists of two power cars, a Café car, a First Class car, and four Business Class cars, semi-permanently coupled together. The First Class car has 44 seats, four-seat tables and assigned seating. There are 260 Business Class seats on each trainset. #goamtrak

🚆 Happy 25th anniversary to the #Acela!
#TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in the year 2000, the first high-speed rail service in the Western Hemisphere debuted when Amtrak introduced Acela Express on the Northeast Corridor route from Washington, D.C. to Boston.
As with #TrafficCircles, Americans are puzzled about how to do high speed rail. #Brightline #Florida and #Acela run fast trains on old tracks. Acela hits 150mph on only 40 of its 457 miles. A 2029 #Brightline from #LosAngeles to #LasVegas may have dedicated HSR track

Pictures of some #Amtrak 🇺🇸 #NextGen #Acela design elements and features. A nice train.
And today’s crew on the #2250 8:35 AM service from DC to NYC, cafe car attendant, conductor, ticket inspectors, housekeepers and the engineer were just wonderful. 🤗

Hello from the brand new, and quite stylish, #Amtrak 🇺🇸 #NextGen #Acela on its way from DC to NYC today. First stop: the train’s #CafeCar #DiningCar with quite a choice of food and drinks for purchase from a lovely steward.

New cars on the #Acela are terribly uncomfortable, sardine-style seating, do yourself a favor and take the NE Regional business class #Amtrak or even the bus is better than Acela et moins cher 😜
First look - Amtrak's new Acela train set is absolutely beautiful, clean, and is the fastest train in the USA, capable of speeds up to 160mph! #firstlook #firstclass #fastesttrain #fasttrain #amtrak #acela #usa #unitedstates #class #vehicledesign #windowseatproject #speed
