Due to constraints with the track, power supply and regulations, the Acela trains can do the entire trip from Washington to Boston in 6 hours and 36 minutes, which averages to 109 km/h. The fastest portion of the trip, from Washington to New York, is covered in 2 hours and 48 minutes, averaging a speed of 143 km/h.
I'd love to see true high-speed rail, but in the absence of that, a few more express trains at more convienent times, and I think that Via between Montreal-Toronto is a real competitor to flying.
Hey, I'd be willing to take 150 kph over what exists now! And I agree; while I'd like to see high-speed rail, more express service and the trimming of present travel times in the corridor would go a long way to improving things.
