    I can't get enough of riding trains! Train travel is an adventure and if you have the time this is the best way to travel. What train should I take next?

      Iregularly take the southwest chief to Chicago, and then the lake shore limited overnight to Penn station in NYC. Both are wonderful rides, though the Lake shore limited is mostly over night. What I am always happy about, is the staff on the trains. Everyone is always really nice to me (I travel alone,and am disabled,unable to climb stairs) so I need my meals brought down to me on the southwestern chief. The food is great, the people nice, and I always get a roomette on the lower level which makes it easy on my legs. I'm six foot four, and the roomette lower beds are quite roomy for me, perhaps able to accomodate someone six foot six. I wasn't able to climb to the upper berth so I don't know what they are like for someone my size. How tall are you?

    Brightline trainsets are modeled off Railjet which is a high speed train used by the national railways of Austria and the Czech Republic. The Siemens Venture railcar utilized by Brightline (and now other North American railways) is derived from the Siemens Viaggio Comfort which makes up the locomotive hauled Railjet trains. In both cases each trainset is pulled by a Siemens locomotive.

      The title and thumbnail of the video are a little misleading, the Amtrak Acela in the northeast US already hits up to 150 mph in what can be quantified as long distance service, currently, Brightline does not exceed 79 mph and acts more as a commuter service, that will change with the Orlando extension though.

    Total misrepresentation - maximum speed is not average speed. Brightline is 100% at grade level and has many stops. In no way is it high speed; neither is Acela. So much information left out. Is the off-peak schedule less than every hour and when is there no service? Weekends and holidays? Taking a car would be much more convenient and less expensive.
