Northeast Express (Napoleon's World)

IC Northeast Express, previously branded ICE Northeast Corridor, is an Amrail intercity high-speed express train running from Washington, DC to Boston and is the most heavily trafficked Amrail line in the United States, high speed or otherwise. It has an average speed of 100 miles per hour and on certain stretches of its route in New Jersey and Rhode Island can go as fast as 175 mph. An express train, it has 10 stops in total. The Northeast Regional, which has considerably more stops and a slower average speed, shares much of the same route. From New York, one can travel to Philadelphia in an hour, to Washington in two hours and twenty minutes, and to Boston in two hours and forty-five minutes. Nearly 70% of passenger traffic between New York-Boston, New York-Philadelphia and New York-Washington is captured by Amrail rather than passenger airlines, the best ridership rate in the United States. It is one of two corridors in the United States, along with IC California Express, where trains reach the maximum permitted speed of 175 mph.
