The next-gen sets have a top service speed that’s 10mph faster — though this can only be achieved on certain sections of the mostly 110mph route — and an enhanced “anticipative” tilting system that allows for higher speeds through curves.
25 years and presumably billions of dollars later, still goes exactly the same speed because the money went into shiny toys and not infrastructure. Classic america shit right there. Biden put some money into infrastructure but iirc it mostly all went to keeping neglected shit from falling apart rather than significant improvement of the NEC route
This stuff happens constantly at the municipal scale too. Especially when a department has “extra” budget. It’s earmarked for X type of thing so they go for Y thing and say it is X. Y is some nonsense they have to contract out, usually to their buddies.
This is honestly so fucking embarrassing.
America will never understand nor posses the power of train juche 
Well no shit.
They didn’t address the things the fucking trains travel on. This is just polishing the turd.
