Both the 150 MPH stretches, one in Rhode Island and one in Massachusetts
are very legit, good straight sections of track with the track, signals, wire
and equipment all good for 150 MPH. There is no good reason to down-
grade it to something else just because other sections of the railroad are
not good for 150 MPH running.
On the New Haven Railroad years ago, we always said that west of New
Haven we had the power to go fast and east of New Haven we had the
railroad to go fast but we did not have both in any location.
Today, at least between New Haven and Boston, we finally have both, it
needs to be used to the fullest extant possible.
