Amtrak Acela Express (2002)

  
  
These were taken on the second leg of the September trip, starting at the Boston South Station and ending at Washington D.C.'s Union Station.
  
Despite some of the problems the Acelas had at the time, the one we were on was smooth and fast, topping off at 149 mph.

I took this picture of my GPS unit between Boston and New York.  It really didn't feel that fast.
