From the surveillance video, it seems to be more like 80 mph.

From Amtrak's website:

Northeast Corridor: The 363 miles of the 456-mile corridor connecting Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, the busiest passenger line in the country, with trains regularly reaching speeds of 125 - 150 mph (201 - 241 kph).

It's not the train.....it's the tracks that are antiquated
