I don't know if these trains are supposed to be much faster than the existing train sets, which do it in like 3 hours?

(My understanding is that the speed limits is more to do with the railways than the actual trainsets, but maybe that's wrong. Apparently they go 160mph at max vs 150 on the old ones, but I don't know if that speed can be sustained between DC and NYC)

Limited by railways and number of stops too. On a 500km trip in France (Paris - Strasbourg) you can save 15min by taking the train with no stops : 1h46 vs 2h and 2 stops
