An Acela adventure, at 1/1000th of a second
A weekly photo column by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Stan Grossfeld. The author reviews the Acela 2265 from Boston to New York, which takes three hours and 49 minutes to take a train ride. The train, not the new NextGen editions debuted in August, gives a glimpse of America's beauty and warts in three hours, 49 minutes. However, the train was canceled due to downed electrical wires on the tracks in Boston and passengers were told they would only go as far as New Haven before other arrangements were made. The author praises the train for its relaxing ride, with passengers praising its old-fashioned charm, legroom, and location in the middle of New York as a luxury experience. The new trains can go 160 miles per hour but they don't live up to their potential due to old infrastructure and lack of ability to handle the high-speed travel demands. The article also discusses a recent incident involving a train carrying a passenger who was stalled in 100 degrees heat with no air-conditioning and had to send another train to pull us out of 100 degrees in 100 degree heat.
