In the US, commuter trains generally run at 60mph or greater. At speeds higher than 79mph, there is considerably more maintenance for safety reasons, so many train lines do not go faster. However in many areas their maximum speeds are 80 to 110mph. The fastest US commuter trains today are on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor where typical speeds are 100mph to 125mph, and the Acela train even reaches 150mph.
