Any idea if they're testing different sets as KP2022? It would be amazing to see every single set tested on the racetrack multiple times.

I would really like to see this train moving in person but so far nearly all of the testing that I've heard about is in NJ. Is there really no need for further testing on the southern electrified portion of the NEC?

(110% of 160)Is this a normal requirement somewhere and did this happen already on any trainset? You'd think someone is begging to break the Turbo Train's 170.8mph record. Some Acela (1) testing runs back in 2012-2014 got really close.
