Faster NextGen Acela Trains Are Coming to the U.S. at the Worst Time
NextGen is faster than the original Acela but will not set any world speed records. Its top velocity of 160 mph falls short of global benchmarks set by China’s Fuxing, which hits 217 mph, and Japan’s newest Shinkansens, which reach 200 mph.
Amtrak’s NextGen Acela, the nation’s latest high-speed rail service, will begin carrying passengers between Boston and Washington, DC.
The NextGen Acela trains will run with a top speed of 160 mph, out-speeding the current Acela fleet by 10 mph.
