The ones they will have in the ne cant even go that fast because of turns, tunnels and old bridges. So they will have high spd trains that cant average the high speed.

Rode the Acela from NY to Wilmington in the summer. It can do over 90 mph on some stretches of track, but that day it in slow mode because the tracks were hot and bending themselves.
