The reason that the Acela only runs at 150 mph instead of what the Japanese and Europeans are doing is that the Acela is using previously laid track. Other countries are laying special magnetic track that can get the trains going a lot faster, but it is a lot more expensive to do. Amtrak just doesn't have that kind of money, and I don't see the government giving it to them either.
