Anticipated tilting system sounds awesome. Lets just hope by the time these things come out there are able / allowed to fully automate them. It's a joke that humans still control these things.

They look cool. I've never rode on any high speed train before, I imagine I would like it.

Seriously? In Europe we've had high speed (300kph) tilting trains for years. Look up French TGV, Spanish AVE and Talgo, and Italian Pendolino. Not to mention Japan's Shinkasen, bullet train, or China's network of high speed trains, currently the largest in the world by number of miles covered.

European trains!... USA is decades behind in this regard.

It's about time!!!!! And what about the West Coast? and Intercontinental? Come on folks, lets get with it....time is short!

It's nice that those of us in the US are able to see advances in train technology. I would guess since the cost of automobile ownership is lower than in Europe and Asia trains have much more competition in the US than abroad. In addition, a lot fewer US cities have train stops compared to other countries. My wife is from Germany and some fairly small towns are linked to the rail network with train stops.

Are you kidding me? White upholstery on a public conveyance? That will look like crap within a week and be uncleanable within a month. I hope the seats are fully adjustable. I'd love to see high-speed rail here in Oregon and on the rest of the West Coast. The anticipating tilt feature is sure to provide some spectacular crashes, but they'll be comfy! I wonder how much the increase in the daily fare will be, to cover the cost of 28 new trainsets. BTW, how does the financially strapped Amtrack "invest" $2.4 billion in trains, anyway? High- speed rail is a wonderful and comfy thing, but which other projects are slowed or completely stopped in order to pay for this D.C. (g) upgrade? When I see people in the USA going hungry, while D.C. politicians and the rich get their taxpayer-funded expensive high-speed rail, I get a bit miffed.

150 MPH increase to 160 MPH, is not a "decent increase", that is a pathetic increase.

What is cheaper than tilting trains? A track which is sloped on curves. Just a thought... The UK was the first country to have a tilting train, but it was not successful. I can't remember why.
Train carriages are now connected by a bogie each end, which reduces the number required by 50%.

I wouldn't want these trains in my state when Hyperloop is so close to full scale development.
