Forest Glen Posted November 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2008 Today I was passing by Penn Station when I decided to take some pics of the Acela interior. There's no way I would pay the overpriced fare for Acela so the plan was to sneak past the conductors, take a pic, and leave. Once I got to the platform I saw the conductors plus several Amtrak policemen with guns. I thought about chickening out but I went through with it. I was able to salvage two pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted November 28, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 28, 2008 Metsfan, be sure to take enough Memory cards and keep close eye on how many you take. I am sure your camera may break sooner or later... Haha, =D! I have 2x 1 gig cards and 1x 2 gig cards. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very nice train, but the amount of time saved (30-45 minutes) isn't worth paying an extra $61 one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted November 30, 2008 Share #19 Posted November 30, 2008 I will honestly probably get about 300-400 acela photos then take a nap the rest of the way. I will get photos of 30th street and union station as well. Videos too. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grenavitar Posted January 24, 2009 Share #21 Posted January 24, 2009 I wouldn't sugges riding Acela. It is a very nice train, but the amount of time saved (30-45 minutes) isn't worth paying an extra $61 one way. When I saw that I was seriously unimpressed by Acela's speeds but was a little impressed that our normal service is kind of pretty decent. Granted, you have non-TGV service between Strasbourg and Basel going 200km/h but I expect much less out of my not-so-rail-friendly home country. Great pictures, though. I can't wait to ride on Acela when its less than 4 hours between Washington and Boston (the TGV route between Paris and Marseille is a longer distance but takes like 3h20).

MattTrain Posted January 25, 2009 Share #22 Posted January 25, 2009 Acela trains are cool, too bad you didn't have the fare to ride it, but anyways good photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
