This is the pinnacle of American passenger rail: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acela
Their claim to fame is going up to 150 mph for a 30-mile stretch. It's a single line that goes from Boston to DC, hitting stops in between. It costs about $100 after fees and crap if the trains are 20% full, prices automatically increase as that goes up. 50% full? Well now it's around $225.
I love watching these and thinking "what the fuck has the US done in my lifetime?" :agony:
War, Cops, road widening.
