I remember how big of a deal bringing High Speed Rail to my beloved city was, But yesterday when I was booking a trip to either Phily or Boston I noticed that Acela had no notable time improvement over regional trains. Of course the perceived image of Acela has helped the NEC become an alternative to shuttles, but isn't it a complete waste to operate those trains here?
I also understand it is the only thoroughly electrified portion of the national grid, in which case wasn't it a waste of money to buy them?
