Amtrak plan: Philadelphia to NYC in 37 minutes

Amtrak's updated high-speed rail plan includes a 37-minute trip between Philadelphia and New York City, the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting.

The trip, projected for 2040, is part of the passenger rail agency's $151 billion redevelopment of the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston, the Inquirer reports. Right now, the trip takes about 70 minutes, but that time would gradually be lowered, according to the Inquirer.

See now this is reasonable. They were talking about a high speed rail in California that went no where, and was still very slow and even before building it knew no one plans on using it. This one however is between two large cities, and it is expected a lot of people will use it, and it is fast.
