Pushing the Envelope

A DC-bound Acela trainset rockets through Bowie, Maryland at 115mph on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor (NEC).

 

The NEC is formerly the PRR electrified line between DC, Philadelphia, PA; New York, NY; and Boston, MA.

 

This was more of an experiment than an planned photo. I wasn't sure I could "freeze" a train moving more than 100mph without a lot of smear. Nice to know it can be done, even with small speedlights.
