How Do Strong Winds Impact Amtrak Service?
I was one NWK-WAS yesterday on the 5:14pm Acela. I noticed pretty strong, sustained northerly winds and began to wonder how that would affect my trip south to DC. Does the train get better "mileage"? Does that metric even exist for trains these days?


Figured that someone on here would know the answer to this bizarre question of mine.



This confirms the fact that my mind wanders A LOT while on the platform at NWK!

cheers everyone!
