Wrong!
Yeah, I've seen private cars zooming down the NE corridor behind the fastest electric engines that Amtrak has, and I'd bet those are going (or at least can go) as fast as the steam speed record, as they regularly go 125 down that track and way faster with the Acela.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Jack, but doesn't "Amtrak certified" for a private car mean they can go down the NE Corridor as well at those high speeds?
