  • In the early 1990s, Amtrak brought two European high speed trains directly to the people...to see if they still liked riding trains.

    So, any word on why Acela was based on TGV technology, after first testing X2000 and ICE? Also, it seems like the X2000 was the best suited for the ancient tracks in the USA - always curious why that set was not selected for Acela...

    Could it be you know more details about the 'baggage car' at 4.54? I would assume that rather than luggage, it contains technical installations, in order to make it possible to steer an electric train from the cockpit on a non-electrified line, pushed by a diesel locomotive. At least, this was the X2000 arrangement. On the ICE1, things seemed to look different.

    The Acela is based on the TGV design, and the new Acela coming in 2022 will be the next generation TGV train. I have ridden both trains (TGV in France, and ICE in Germany). While the TGV is better suited with its tilt technology for the non-straight American tracks, the ICE is definitely the faster train although to the paying customer, the interior of the two trains in their respective countries is similar.

    • @GreenHornet553
      @GreenHornet553 4 роки тому

      Three issues in that though are making sure there is enough sound pollution protection for people living in the surrounding area, making sure the lines can be connected to rail station hubs (current or planned), and that building the tracks can work without causing traffic congestion and/or issues with property rights. There is also the question of money as well.

    Seeing the video on how China set up their high speed rail system we also need to build it like a bridge above the ground. What an awesome way they were building their speedrail. Our train rails could not produce the same high speed results I don't believe and have also been around a long time as well.

    We will never have real high speed rail until we have designated rights of way to eliminate many of the road crossings. If you have ridden Amtrak, the engineer is constantly signaling warnings to impending traffic at gate crossings as you travel across the US. This is not to mention the dependence upon track owners such as BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern...etc.This has got to change.
