Just Returned from Round Trip on the Meteor from NWK To Orlando- First time Riding this train in some time as Im usually
on the Auto-Train
While I know the "max speed" is 79 MPH I believe we left that behind somewhere in the Carolinas
Anybody have any actual speed readings from both Penn Stat. NY to Wash. (which Im guessing is 100-110?) since
the Viewliners max speed is 110. and then from Wash South and it seemed we were moving fast....
FYI The Genesis Amtrak put on in Washington were DOA after a while and had to wait approx 90 minutes
for new engines Even with that we were only 30 minutes late into Orlando
On the NorthBound Trip we were 25 minutes late leaving Orlando and 1 hour - yes 1 hour early into NWK Penn Station-
that was a Saturday trip with minimum CSX Freight in the way.
Thanks
