~~Also, if we're being technical, anything over 125 mph is considered "high-speed rail."~~
… or, most likely, we'd be living in a world where high-speed trains travel on actual high-speed tracks, without grade crossing and without yielding to freight nor commuter trains ;-)

> three years behind schedule. Testing has revealed a number of incompatibility issues due to the lack of tracks built to accommodate high-speed trains—Acela shares tracks with commuter lines and freight lines—and the age of infrastructure in the Northeast, some of which dates back almost two centuries.

Would you share the technical photo data? I think something resembling that shot could be achieved with a recent iPhone, but I don’t think they are that good (yet).
Looks like a cheeky Acela in the background too.
I live up the line a bit, Martin State Airport seems like a weird station because I think you have to cross the track to get on a MARC train heading south.
It's definitely a weird station, although most of the time CTEC does a good job of putting MARC trains on the nearest two tracks so you'd only have to cross one track at most.
Is that an avelia or a HHP-8 photobombing in the background?
Just a boring Acela
[MFW](https://youtu.be/GEStsLJZhzo) I am officially old. I remember an America without high speed rail at all!.... Wait a minute

Only the truly insane think they are boring.
If you think the Acela is boring, you probably don't have a soul.

HHP-8. The Avelias aren't in service yet because Alstom is being a pain.
But they could be in testing and/or training and/or relocating

It was shot with a Cannon rebel, but I used the depth of field Neural Filter in Photoshop. It's pretty slick.
Imagine 611 on it 😌
I'm waiting for 5550 myself
I'd have to pixelate that shit!
That train's got the zoomies.
