Seriously! But the bigger benefit will be a stop at L'Enfant on the way, giving many federal workers a one seat ride to the office. This would also take some crowding off Metro since those workers would no longer need a trip from Union Station down

I've heard that, but I've never seen one of their trains actually hit that speed, mostly because the stops are too close to accelerate that high

Amtrak Regional goes up to 125, Acela up to 135 in Maryland. Acela is capable of 150, but the catenary system is an old design that prevents this. But Amtrak does have a project planned to upgrade the catenary, and the new Avelia trainsets can go 165! So we may see even higher speeds in the near future

Penn Line happens to have the highest speed (110 mph) of any commuter rail in the US. It's a great option, and hopefully will be extended to Alexandria once the new Long Bridge is built
