Many people are hearing more and more about Amtrak since the President recently committed more money to upgrade tracks and expand service for the HIGH SPEED electric trains. Well, one of the fastest trains in the United States runs thru Massachusetts on its way from Boston to New York with stops in Providence, New Haven and then New York City.
Recently I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with two SPEEDING Amtrak trains and an MBTA local train that was travelling from Providence Rhode Island to Boston.
At this vantage point in Mansfield, Ma, you have the capability to get right up close to the tracks. But let me offer a word of caution. Dont get too close or you can be pulled right into the path of the train as it travels past you are over 100 miles per hour.
Enjoy the view!
