Posted by Olog-hai on Fri May 9 17:32:20 2008, in response to Re: High speed rail on the NEC-300 kmh service, posted by Charles G on Fri May 9 11:05:45 2008. No; he wants "true high speed", which would cut at least an hour off NYP-WAS and possibly reduce WAS-BOS to a bit over 3˝ hours. However, that's not going to be possible by "converting" the Northeast Corridor. (And who wants it? The true ability of tilt-train technology, i.e. exercised to full potential, ought to be enough to reduce WAS-BOS to 4˝ hours and NYP-WAS to a little over two hours. That's how well tilt-trains work elsewhere, on traditional rail corridors.) |
