Almost as bad was the news report about this Milford incident that News 12 Connecticut (Optimum Cablevision)
presented on this story in which the reporter mentions that 160 mph is the speed trains travel through there...NOT!!!
(This report is available to Optimum Cablevision subscribers in other service regions via Channel 612)

More then likely since an Acela train was involved they confused the top maximum speed of the train service
itself with the train involved. The speed limit at Milford is 90 am I right?
