ACELA to DC


Hi everyone. Having decided to make a visit to the Museums of the Smithsonian,the GWRGR crew went by the Amtrak Acela. It IS as fast as they say. Photo from start of trip .
Staying at the Holiday Inn Capitol one block ( 1/8th of a mile ) from the Air & Space Museum,
Brandon & I are treated to a grand view of trains on 3 tracks running thru downtown on an overhead line. Short freight video.

The Acela is testing WiFi on several trains and we will attemt to post a hi-speed video on our return trip tomorrow (9/6) from the train. Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend

Brandon , Lucy & Mike

Hello to all at GWRGR, That is a great picture of Brandon in front of the Acela! You guys are very good travelers, (remember Florida) Now you will be setting a record for the "Fastest" posting ever! I remeber going to the Air and Space Museum a long time ago and it was great. What a super idea to take the train to Washington, especially the fastest one on the Continent!
Pretty cool video too.
