IDK, seems like they're going to offer the party car separately, with the party car being privately bookable.

We shall see i guess.

they're referring to the current Acela trains that have not been replaced by Avelia Liberty.

Which will only operate at 160mph despite being capable of 220mph.

There are talks to increase speeds, but it requires hundreds of millions in track upgrades.

also requires replacing the commuting rail rolling stock and the freight rail trains because the Avelia liberty trains going 186 mph causes problems.

they have to modify the trains and disable tilting to go 220mph. But otherwise they go 186 mph

The current discussions AFAIK are only about increasing speeds to 180mph, any talk of 200+ is a decade+ away.

well where are these talks? I thought they couldn't go faster than 160 mph because of winds from the fast trains blowing off windows of commuter trains

Various email groups and forums

Most discussion in the industry is about trying to hit 180mph, not 200mph+, at least when talking about the NEC and acela.

well yea with the NEC you probably can't go 220 mph but maybe you can in California and Georgia + Carolinas.
