This train is currently running on-time shortly after departing from the downtown station, and is already at almost full speed. There are two P42s on this train, #44 leading with #10 trailing.

Italy's new bullet train
The “Red Arrow” reaches 186 miles per hour. It travels the 300 mile journey from Milan to Rome in 3 hours and 30 minutes, 18 times a day! Milan is Italy’s financial capital (as well as a tremendous fashion center), while Rome is the political capital. The fare for the trip is about $90. Not too bad. Imagine a chance to ride high speed rail from New York to Washington DC your choice of 18 times per day. Well, it could happen. We need our government to step up to the plate and do it now.
