The new service will shave very little time off of from NY to DC,
The currently metroliners, do upwards of 125MPH currently.
It's the Boston to NY run that will see the time big time savings.
But while we are on this Amtrak stuff. Here's a question:
Was is Amtrak in southern california, about 1/3 the price of Amtrak in the northeast?
Shouldnt the NE corridor, with more passengers be less expensive?
