Later this week, Amtrak will begin test runs of truly high-speed trains along its Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston, the train service announced yesterday.
Trains across four stretches will run at 165 miles per hour as Amtrak attempts to match the U.S. record for rail speed. Amtrak is in the middle of a decades-long process of expanding and enhancing the Northeast Corridor -its most heavily traveled route - that will cost an estimated $151 billion by the time work is completed in 2040.
