I forgot to mention in my trip summary that I also saw an Amtrak Acela whiz by while we were waiting for the commuter rail into New York. I know that’s not a very interesting report since I didn’t ride one or even see it standing still, but it was impressive nonetheless. It was going pretty darn fast. We could’ve taken it to and from Boston instead of driving, but we had things to do that weren’t easy with public transportation.
