Amtrak launches new 160mph Acela trains — but they take just as long as the old ones

Acelas run from Washington DC's Union Station to Boston via Philadelphia, New York Penn Station, New Haven, and Providence

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.
