In today's conditions, what will trip times be vs Acela?It will be interesting to see, but beyond the top speed sections, where it should be able to do 160 mph where the first gen tops out at 150, I'm not sure. (The 135 mph stretch through Princeton Junction should go up to 160 mph with constant tension catenary now in place.)

Please, someone give it a K5LA before it gets picked on by the other trains in the yard!Alright, I'm going to say it.... does it really matter what kind of horn its got? It doesn't have to appease the railfan community... it has to alert those on the tracks (whether they be roadway workers or trespassers, and at grade crossings. As long as its the proper sound level and gets everyone's attention, then that should be the end of it.
