Next to the Norfolk Southern yard and close to the adjacent US highway, there is a shed with what looks like the front end of an Acela or "bullet train" sticking out. It seems to have a test track in front of it that looks like it dead ends maybe a half mile away. Does anyone know what this is and why it is there?

I didn't even know anything like that existed yet. Kinda neat. The thought of getting from New York to Florida in only a few hours is intriguing.
That is not a locomotive!
It is really a Mass Transit train.
It would be great to have Magnetic-Levitation Mass Transit Trains where there used to be Passenger Trains and used to be Railroad Tracks.
The Transit forum watchers might have more opinions.
