It's quite a good comparison because the Acela is designed to very quickly hop from town to town along the East coast whereas the TGV is more of a long distance quick cruiser, designed to get to max speed and stay there as long as possible as it rushes through the countryside

the real reason is DTG doesn’t care about realism. the physics, sounds, and model of the acela in train simulator are all inaccurate. they do not take off that fast. the tgv physics and sounds are also inaccurate and the model might be inaccurate in some places but i’m not sure. also, there is two acela sets coupled together doubling the power.

This is a weird test, the TGV is so much faster than the Acela, in fact the TGV is actually the fastest conventional high speed train in the world! A modified TGV Duplex went 574kph, while the regular TGV service operates at 320kph (200mph). By comparison the Acela can only go 150mph, and is severely limited due the short distance of high speed track on the north east corridor, so it rarely gets to go the full 150mph, only averaging around 80mph on a full trip. Not bagging on the Acela, it's an awesome train, but it's pretty slow by modern high speed rail standards.

A few things, one the TGV is not a diesel electric it's an electric just like the Acela. It's inherently faster then the Acela since the tracks it runs on was designed to handle those speeds, where the Acela runs on much older trackage with more curves that are not capable of speeds that high, though some track and power in Mass, into RI was upgraded to handle speeds of 150MPH. While the TGV rails are capable of speeds of 199MPH. ( and in test trials much faster in some sections) The basic design of the Acela was taken directly from the TGV and is made by the same company, Alstom, though there are some differences, One noticeable difference is a single TGV set runs on a single pantograph raised while the Acela runs with both up. This was an Amtrak requirement, though Alstom says is not necessary. The replacement for the Acela, is planned to be the Alstom Avelia Liberty which is said to initially increase top speed to 160MPH, with higher speeds possible up to 220MPH is track infrastructure upgrades allow, In the current political climate in the US, I think the chances of this is slim to none, and most likely the latter.

tf51d I'm gonna miss the acela when the aveila comes around. and hopefully they will upgrade the tracks on Amtrak for them but the possibility is slim since the NE corridor is very busy and other trains such as MARC NJ transit and Metro north share. Also because there are the other trains on Amtrak so eh. small possibility.

Why did you have so many coaches on the TGV? That makes it slower than the Acela

the best is still the ICE maybe it isn't the fastest ( 406 km/h ) but In my opinion nothing can beat an ICE, but ok the TGV Duplex is a beautiful train too, and it's faster. but the ICE is definitely my favourite

@binetluc1586 жыл бұрын
Technically TGV is the fastest train in the world as it currently has the world record at full speed , but in terms of line-speeds , I believe Japanese and Chinese trains beat them , but i don't know about italian ones .

I think the Acela is based on the TGV but slower to fit the needs of America’s aging railroads. They are both French but gg to the TGV.
