IIRC they did but only in test runs on the Elizabeth to Trenton speedway. My memory is 160.4 there then. One could check the NYT 'cause I remember an article when it happened. Seems to me the Acela made all of 4 MPH gain (certainly less than 10) on the same route. I remember commenting--perhaps here, perhaps on the old Subtalk that the real accomplishment of the Acela project was electrifying the NH-BOS section. IF, C-Dot ever cleans up the catenary and curve issues we should see better speeds to NH.The PC Post (I have another issue) was the usual BS/hype--comical as long as one didn't use their "services" Unfortunately I did. A prototype for Amtrak at its worst. |
