Best Answer

Acela Express is Amtrak's high-speed tilting train service that operates between Washington, DC and Boston, through Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City. The Acela travels at speeds up to 150 mph. Because of the curvy terrain between Boston and Washington, trains were an inconveniently slow way to travel. The tilting design allows the train accelerate to higher speeds, without sacrificing passenger comfort.

On the Acela Express, it takes 2 1/2 hours to travel from Washington, DC to New York City, and an additional 3 1/2 hours to get from NY to Boston.

It's advertised as an upscale, more luxurious experience, with reserved First Class and Business Class seating.
