"Although the electric trains still reach the same top speed as diesel ones — 79 mph — they start and stop much faster, saving riders time." https://lnkd.in/e5ri38FJ
Yes. I worked on the Amtrak NorthEast corridor, improvements for Acela Hi Speed Rail, to reach top speed 150MPH. Yet, the difference between 79MPH Regional and 150MPH Acela from NYC to Boston was approx 45-min overall due to the numerous Stops.
The differences are marginal if one does the math. It's the number and spacing of stops that make the significant difference.
