Acela who?
If you've been curious about the new Maglev train in Shanghai as I have, here's the New York Times's take. Though the train system seems to be suffering from plenty of teething troubles, it still manages to reach a top-speed of 432 kmph (268 mph) while covering the distance between the city and airport in 8 minutes flat. Jeebus, what was that about Acela reaching 240 kmph on the NYC-Boston corridor?
