@AirlineFlyer @jonostrower That doesn't seem possible given that it had just stopped at 30th st station, right?

@A_H_Goldstein @jonostrower Electric trains can get up to speed pretty quickly. But this data combined with the @WSJ report is damming

@AirlineFlyer @jonostrower They can, but that still seems extreme. How far was this from 30th Street? 3-4 miles right?

@AirlineFlyer forgive me, but what is the site you pulled this from?

@AnotherPirate http://amtrak.com 

@AirlineFlyer thanks. I see it now. Was just being blind

@AirlineFlyer Vince from NBC. Can we talk? Follow me and we can DM

So, while MSM reporters were tracking Amtrak appropriations, @AirlineFlyer was tracking primary data on #Amtrak188 speed.

@AirlineFlyer Do we know what the recommended speed was for that part of the track?

@AirlineFlyer @GayPatriot Any chance this was GPS lag? Our workplace tracking system would pick up movement late then show ridiculous speeds

I was scraping Amtrak real time last night too. Last reported speed was 106, but also claimed 123 an hour earlier? @AirlineFlyer @alon_levy

@enf @AirlineFlyer @alon_levy On the same train? Engineers who speed tend to do it throughout the trip...

@sandypsj @enf @alon_levy 123 mph would not be exceeded the speed limit in certain stretches of track for this particular train.
