In the United States, the trains we have that best resemble the bullet trains are the 'Acela' trains, built by Bombardier. They are high-speed electric trains that operate off of overhead centenary wire on Amtrak's 'Acela Express' service. However, these trains only run on the 'Northeast Corridor', which is a high speed rail line that connects the cities of Washington D.C. all the way to Boston. The highest speed on the Northeast Corridor is 150mph, achievable only momentarily, yet most of the run is in fact done in excess of 100mph with Acelas. Many other commuter regional trains run on Amtrak that are also electrically powered. Although they may run in excess of 100mph, they do not resemble the bullet train.
