This is what I love about east coast cities. Boston-New York-Philadelphia-Washington DC are all interconnected, and seem as 'one metropolis'. I always feel connected to these cities. Chicago and Miami are different. Even though Amtrak goes to those cities, they feel like excursions rather than jumping on a train with an hourly schedule.

Northeast Corridor, especially through NJ and Connecticut are the best places to watch different types of electrified train transport pass by at speed in the US... We had a friend of the family (retired now) that worked for years for the SEC, and his job constantly had him going back and forth from NYC to DC via Amtrak at least twice a week!

I’d assume it had something to do with the icy weather. High speed trains can get a loss of power up here in the north sometimes during extreme cold, so it just makes it a lot easier on the drivers.

Thin ice on contact wire, that prevents reliable current collection and leads to arcing between pantograph's contact shoe and contact wire. This greatly increases shoe and wire wear, and can cause a contact wire cutting with stopping srrvice for an hour and more. PRR had "Double pantograph" order for this weather. First pantograph breakes and cleans ice for better current collection by second photograph. Acela wins with its four(!!!) raised pantographs for one (train's onboard) 12 kV primary power circuit.
