Amtrak/New Jersey Transit's 125MPH qualification test train heads west down Track 2 on the Northeast Corridor past Princeton Junction station. This was one of 5 passes made by the test train. Amtrak has been looking to qualify/approve the Viewliner I (1) cars for 125MPH speeds. New Jersey Transit was also been looking to qualify/approve their ALP-45DPs for 125MPH speeds.
