I’ve had to make an overnight business trip up to New Jersey and chose to ride the train from DC. I got the Acela Express on the way up, which is Business Class only. It is way too comfortable and even has AC power for computers etc! We clocked it via GPS at over 130mph. factoring in transit times etc. I got to my destination faster than driving or flying and feeling very refreshed.
On the way back tonight, there was no Acela seating available, so I had to slum it on a regional train, which was must slower, stopped at more stations and not nearly as comfortable.
It’s the Acela for me from now on.
I walked past this advertisement without thinking until I remembered what country I was in!
Now I've seen freeway overpasses that finish in mid-air, but where in the world does this elevator go?
