Amtrak High Speed 125 MPH to 150 MPH Northeast Corridor Trains @ Princeton Junction (5/31/22) 

I know 😢

Not even silver, the Bronze standard! Lol🤣

@@dburt909 I’d say 200mph is gold. Not like it’s going to happen though. Lol

@@dburt909 Shut the fuck up. As if YOU have anything to do with engineering a railway. Fucking dumbass little kid.

@@banksrail Maglev 268mph (431kph) is Platinum, 220mph (350kph) is the Gold, 200mph (320kph) is Silver, 155mph (250kph) is Bronze. That's my scale, because those are common standards around the world now. Anything less (all of the US) barely gets a participation trophy.

@@jdmrc93 The US is third-world in this and many other ways.

well they just added another sprinter to the back of a consist instead of a cab car

What even was that?

Lite engine move for a work job.

kid named CBTC: skill issue

Love seeing them.

Are those the ones with the metroliner looking cab-cars?

@@lightningbot85 yes

I thought the same thing. Surprised how many Amtrak trains stopped at Princeton Junction

A whopping 90 seconds!!! lol It’s okay though. Improvement is improvement.

Gotta tell Metro North to get their sh*t together lol

Good luck. It’s Metro North. Grossly mismanaged on every level with an MOW department that doesn’t work nights and works at best 4 hours a day.

The tracks on Metro North are too close together to allow high speeds, and there are too many sharp curves.

They’ll be able to go 165mph

it will

@@CrazyDash9 160mph*

@@CrazyDash9 165 was just for testing. Actual service will be 160

@@banksrail a feet in a American rail history

you seem to have failed to read the description.

Compared to other countries yeah. But in the last few years Amtrak has really stepped up their game. It’s harder for us since public transportation doesn’t get as much government subsidy as other countries, not to mention it’s a private sector lol

Cuz I think NJT almost always stops at PJC so there’s no real action there

Carolinan. The Pennsylvanian never has a baggage car mostly

... and what of the trains that are replacing these ones? hmmm?

@@FanRailer LOL my brain didnt think that far ahead.

The 150-160mph is fast enough!! You don't need a airplane on the tracks!! GERMANYS ACS64F LOCOMOTIVE Hit 225mph in a test run, with no trouble!! It outweighs the one AMTRAK has!! It's a BRUTE!! STRONGER TOO!! A Locomotive is to scary to go at those 150-160mph speeds, that's mainly why they build ACELAS and multiple unit cars to hit those speeds!! They're less scarier, if they're doing high speed on the local tracks for some maintenance reason!! The force a locomotive exerts is phenomenal!! Anyhow the our AMERICAN MADE METROLINER OF THE 1960'S-1979 WERE WAY MORE SWIFTER THAN THE ACELA OR THAT NEW UGLY AVELIA. There top speed on there odometer was 160mph!! But they could do more. Also our GG1 LOCOMOTIVE could easily do over 200mph and hold the road too!! It weighed almost 480,000 lbs!! We had HIGH SPEED GO-GETTERS BEFORE THIS NEW STUFF CAME OUT!! THAT'S just two aspects of AMTRAK THAT WERE WAY AHEAD OF THERE TIME!! They should be roaming now, if the ELECTRICIANS could keep up, in reinventing the wheel, to keep them running,modifying their components here and there!! But they failed to do so!!!

Not for a LONG time

@@FanRailer America moment

Gonna guess 2030

Definitely not on the corridor. You can only upgrade a conventional rail line for high speed running at 150 to 160 mph but after that, you’re going to need to build a new railroad because running trains at 200 mph on track shared by slower regional and commuter trains would be incredibly dangerous and irrational. Which is why in countries like Germany that along with dedicated high speed rail lines has upgraded conventional rail lines to run at high speed, the trains on those lines are limited to 155mph

The only reason this comment got approved is so that people can flame the shit out of you for your idiocy. Have at it boys.

So if Amtrak is “reckless” then what are the British, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and all other high speed trains then??

Mike Sanders is definitely an expert in railway signalling guys, I guess every high speed railway in the world is wrong...
