The Acela Express is Amtrak's high-speed rail service along the Northeast Corridor in the Northeast United States between Washington, D.C., and Boston with 14 stops including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. Acela Express trains are the fastest trainsets in the Americas; the highest speed they attain is 150 mph. Acela trains use tilting technology which allows the train to travel at higher speeds on the sharply curved NEC without disturbing passengers, by lowering lateral centrifugal forces. Compared to other high-speed rail systems, Acela is unusual in that it shares tracks with freight and slower passenger trains, as well as the advanced age of infrastructure in many segments of the system and the low average speed of the trains along their route.
