Yes and no. It was borrowed by Amtrak back in 1993 for testing. It was only used by Amtrak in 1993. Half of the time that it was in the United States, it was used on the NEC, but the rest of the time it was in America, it was on tour ALL around the US so people could give their input on the train and its performance. The German ICE (InterCity Express) was also tested by Amtrak. The Northeast Regional trains replaced the Metroliner services. The X-2000 has a special tilting feature, which enabled it to go thru curves at higher speeds than conventional passenger trains. Amtrak later incorporated the tilting feature-and the ICE trains speed capabilities (of 200 mph) into today's Acela Express :) The Swedish X-2000 was only capable of 175 mph, while the ICE could do 200.
