The name Acela comes from a combination of the words acceleration and excellence.
Acela Express is Amtrak's newest service. More than 10 million passengers have traveled on the fleet of 20 Acela Express trains since revenue service began on December 11, 2000. The fastest train in North America is the Acela Express , which travels at a normal speed of 150 mph on a 35-mile portion of its route between Boston and New Haven. Otherwise, its top speed is generally 135 mph between Boston and Washington D.C.
