Amtrak recently unveiled a new high-speed train along the Acela corridor. The train itself is, on paper, quite impressive — it runs from Washington, D.C.’s Union Station all the way to Boston, making stops in Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven and Providence along the way.

There’s just one issue: While the new trains can hit 160 mph, the total journey time is somehow five minutes slower than the quickest end-to-end time reached by the old Acela trains, which were released in 2000. Go, us!

The problem is that, while the trains can reach these speeds, most of the tracks aren’t designed for them. Add in the fact that the seats have puny little USB-A chargers instead of the new, standard USB-C, and rail fans aren’t all that thrilled about this development.

It’s not a total loss, however. The trains have a higher capacity, 5G-powered Wi-Fi as well as an improved dining cart and overall ride experience. Still, many of us are looking at countries like Japan and China, which have enjoyed actual high-speed trains for some time, and wondering why we can’t seem to get it right over here.

Maybe we’re all just too excited to get from Point A to Point B in our Hummers!
