It's quite a good comparison because the Acela is designed to very quickly hop from town to town along the East coast whereas the TGV is more of a long distance quick cruiser, designed to get to max speed and stay there as long as possible as it rushes through the countryside
LaZeR JET the reason why the Acela Express trains are bulkier than the TGV’s are because of the Federal Railroad Administration’s Tier II crashworthiness standards, making it 45% heavier than the TGV
Amtrak Bible like acsela dude
And Americans do that
Baduri Rasul Acela*
Acela is the best amtrak train TBH. I rather catch an acela express than an ACS-64 every time i go railfan at NY- Hamilton township
David sims 200 trains,transport,and more I feel you man, I love the first generation Acela trains. They’re my favorite, but I’ll be sad to see them leave service and be replaced by these Avelia Liberty sets
my opinion on why it “takes off” is that it is a full electric so it doesnt basically have a engine (in locomotive) so it does straight to full speed
They are actually both electric trains.
the real reason is DTG doesn’t care about realism. the physics, sounds, and model of the acela in train simulator are all inaccurate. they do not take off that fast. the tgv physics and sounds are also inaccurate and the model might be inaccurate in some places but i’m not sure. also, there is two acela sets coupled together doubling the power.
The TGV is NOT a diesel - electric but a completely AC (Alternating Current) electric train - set.
WAP-5 SHELLRIZER 🚒🚒🚒
Nooooooooooo
Carlos Bermudez A train set here means a uniform train consisting of a fixed number of coaches. These coaches are semi permanently attached to each other and each coach plays a role in running the train. The Acela too, is a EMU train set.
Technically, TGV runs on 1500V DC on classical french lines electrified before the 80's, also the 3000V DC from belgian & italian lines, and the "germanic" 15kV 16,67Hz alternative current, depending from the specs you want.
Nothing important, I heard that the Acela is actually a modified version of the German(?) ICE.
The reason the acela express is so bulky compared to the tgv train is because the acela express was beefed up to match the US federal railroad administration standards it was so bulky and heavy that the French workers that manufactured the acela express nicknamed the trains le cochon (the pig)
The acela also goes 240 KM/H on top speed while the TGV can do 320 KM/H
The TGV can ride 578.4 Km/h its a ofiicial record
@@call_me_he9122 They prepared a special unit for the record attempt, the TGV, in service, goes a max of 320KPH.
And ICE from Frankfurt am main hbf to Paris est Vmax 320
Dekusiarz 101 SCMaglev is faster, 603 km/h.
Eagle Eye Yes it is but, the fastest conventional High speed train is the TGV.
Acela: *activates good stuff about being a single decker express train
"Who in blazed applied that emergency brake!?"
"He did!"
Lol
2:17 We need to show off our industrial manufacturing power
Expect that this train was made by Alstom and it is a french company (Both TGV and Acela Express are made by Alstom)
Plus the new Avelia LIberty is made by alstom too
I believe that the first generation Acelas are from Bombardier, right?
@@SgtChip yeah but they only made the coaches, and also Alstom bought Bombardier
@@Yosh-wt4lg Okay.
You will say everything, but the best high speed train is the George Stephenson's Rocket 😂😂
Lol
😂😂
XD 🤣
I think the TGV would go faster in reverse, given what happened in WWII
Josef Stalin xd
Ibbe Boonen you are aren't you 🦊
Knuckles the Echidna well the TGV has a speed of 574,8 km/h this is the highest possible speed for a train on rails (mach 0.6)
sadly for u this train have no front neither no rear... so it's fast in each way... sry bro
Schiggy Master yes and no. The Duplex (in the Video) only goes 320-330 km/h in real life. The TGV V150 is the one that driven 574,8 km/h
This is a weird test, the TGV is so much faster than the Acela, in fact the TGV is actually the fastest conventional high speed train in the world! A modified TGV Duplex went 574kph, while the regular TGV service operates at 320kph (200mph). By comparison the Acela can only go 150mph, and is severely limited due the short distance of high speed track on the north east corridor, so it rarely gets to go the full 150mph, only averaging around 80mph on a full trip. Not bagging on the Acela, it's an awesome train, but it's pretty slow by modern high speed rail standards.
I think the TGV tracks in France are mostly only rated up to 360km/h (You'll probably never see one go over 325 as effeciency decreases a lot).
I'd vote for the TGV, it's a lot faster and better than the Acela Express. Not only that, in real life. The TGV Duplex was once modified as the TGV V150. Which reached 574km/h
RaulTrainzGamer cool nice to know
TGVs not a diesel bro
Yeah it’s electric
It is electric
8:11 How dare you
Sunny Ranch Ikrrrr
YEAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII👌😂🔥
I like Axela
I like TGV
Ugh Americans always complaining for every single thing
The Acela was America's REAL high speed train. If you can recall the original TGV, it looked a bit like the Acela does now. That's like the first stepping stone in our High Speed endeavors.
sargentrowell81 je te conseille vivement de comparer la date de lancement du tout premier TGV et de l'Acela, puis on pourra en reparler 🙂.
Merci, je jure ces américains
the Avelia LIberty can do better than this.
Why would you bully Acela Express? I live in America. :(
Jeff Sanders I know right
Nobody cares, I’m American and I can agree America can’t do anything right
@Diego Bautista Actually the old Acela could probably do as good as any other trains if it was put on an SNCF, DB or even Shinkansen line. I heard that the train itself can go way above 200mph but what's holding it back operationally are the infrastructure.
Jeff Sanders same here
right
how to release the emergency break while still moving :
not at all, you have to wait until you reached 0 km/h
Lazer: the loop big because we're going fast and don't want to risk derailing
Super class 47: am I a joke to you?
My grandson Nathaniel loves watching your vids keep them up “MORE RACES!” He says
Don't worry, the Avelia liberty is coming.
Rail Gamer Productions lol TGV 320 km/h commercial ans 574.8 in competition so the TGV is the better of real train
Rail Gamer Productions aveila liberty won’t achieve the same speed hah railways in the USA lol
all you need to say at at a railway board meeting is "railways in America" and everyone will laugh for a solid 10 minutes
Rail Gamer Productions that won't be as fast as a TGV. It is just the only good train that America will ever have.
YESSSSSSSSSS
The pedals in the TGV is for the deadman system (i think).Basicly the driver needs to press them down slightly to make the train move, if he releases them the train stops!
The real comparison was to put them at full throttle from the beginning and watch till the finish without altering the speed of the TGV.
The TGV is faster than the Acela Express in the real world
It still is in the game
Its faster in the game as well, the Acela just has better acceleration
You could also do Acela Express vs ICE, but make sure your in the acela otherwise it will be to easy.
ice goes faster
The TGV is a diesel electric? Since when? This must be some new thing which I've not been told about.
Seriously, you might want to change the video, or something. It's just embarrassing.
Wow just wow how did your not know that hashtag LOL
Just wow
gl450314 what the hell are you trying to say?
Stupid shut up
The first TGV was in fact diesel
That was the greatest thing that happened on my life thank you Lazer Jet
sure np
I think it was funny how you applied the emergency brakes
The Acela is that big because of FRA crash requirements. Amtrak's chairman once said that the Acela is not just the Western Hemisphere's first high-speed train, but also the world's first high-speed bank vault.
It’s not how big the locomotive is, it’s how big people in France are
The TGV is electric, so is the Acela
No duh
Shelly Langrehr they both are. Yes duh, just google it.
The cars are bigger to cart more freight and people the engines are big to pull the bigger trains and to go longer distances more freight needs to be delivered in America than England so bigger locomotives and rolling stock are required
Trainboy 4472 une belle blague, sachant que ton Acela est construit par Alstom et Bombardier, respectivement constructeur Français et Canadien.
Ils ont construit pour les chemins de fer en Amérique, donc parce qu'ils étaient pour l'Amérique ils ont été construits plus gros pour les raisons que j'ai indiquées ci-dessus
Due to this video I thought the French government packed people like sardines on the double Decker cars. I thought the Acela looked a whole lot better then the TGV due to the color design and the shape.
Scotsman 4472 personnellement, comme je viens de France, je préfère le TGV. Mais l'acela express à lair pas mal.
Pk il ralentit quand on s'approche de l'Acelor 😐😑
The race is rigged, the default speed trains run at 70% of the limit, so the accela express was running at 70% of the speed limit
What do you mean?
All ai trains when you set them up go 70% of the max speed limit, the accela express can go up to 155 MPH but he didn't change the speed values
PhantomUniform0 the tgv would still win though
PhantomUniform0 yes the Acela Express has a speed limit of 160 mph in reality it can go up to 280mph like TGV
What do you mean
you wonder why the Acela express is so slow and why the TGV is so fast?
well it's simple, the Acela express has classic cars that can be coupled to all kinds of different trains
but the tgv has cars which have a single bogie which makes them safer and more aerodinamic
and the tgv has two locomotives, one which pulls the train and one which pushes the train at the same time
I hope you liked my explanation😀🙂🚄
I wonder how the Acela Express would perform on the French rails? American rails aren't built for the kinds of speeds that some of the Euro trains are capable of reaching.
(Watching on a 20 inch tablet) "Why do the Americans always need big things?"
For Large reasons
First off the Acela can go 155 mph. And second the Acela was definitely not going at its top speed cause you failed to fix the AI...
Evan Gamez what was broken?
@@Eurstre The Acela wasn't going at its top speed
Bus 26 yes, what caused that?
@@Eurstre I'm not sure
HAY LASERJET YOU LEAVE THE AMTRAK ACELA EXPRESS ALONE
Shut up
all american builders minds: BIGGER IS BETTER
Stop saying bad stuff to the Acala express!
you stop
yea you tell him!
Tgv is better
No Name look I’m sorry ok the truth is I like the Acela Express forgive me
Edward Laughner forgiven
This video quite literally disgusted me. Acela won fairly. Yet out of pure jealousy, he restarts the race, CHEATS, and wins. And he counts that. He could have redone the race in his spare time, but nooo.
guessing you skipped the part of him accidentally hitting the e brake and that being why he restarted.
The battle of high-speed trains from the most famous and rotting countries
only reason why the acela won out in acceleration is because you had 2 acela train sets coupled together doubling the tractive effort and tourqe of the TGV. in real life the acela runs as a single set unlike some TGV and ICE trainsets of europe.
I rode the TGV, it was way faster than this. It went 314 kph.
They got a modified version to do 500 km/h
The TGV should win its one of the fastest trains
top speed of Acele Express 165 mph (266 km/h)
top speed of TGV Duplex 196 mph (316 km/h)
so yeah tgv should win as its top speed is faster as the Acela Express
but i still like the Acela more by model
Hades Wolfsbane top speed of TGV : 574km/h.
The TGV is the fastest train in the world
TGV isn’t the fastest ima just say.
It's the fastest train on steel wheels.
Too bad the Acela Express is going to be phased out soon. The Avelia Liberty is set to take its place some time in the early 2020's.
But never did.
The Acela Express never doubles up with two sets!
race against flying scotsman 1and 2 tenders daylight sir nigel gresely and new york stream line all against mallard and the acella express
maybe
Guoxian Lei that sounds over awesome
Guoxian Lei yes!
TGV:-)
TGV wins
TGV is Way better at all point of view.
CalotteDuty not is not
CalotteDuty bruh
Quintrell Solomon not is not?
Quintrell Solomon the TGV is better .
CalotteDuty no
You realise that Acela Express is built by ALSTOM (and Bombardier), the same company that built the TGV, right?
Alstom bought Bombardier. These are the same now.
Acela Express is like the fastest train on the eastern corridor
Northeast Corridor*
Im go in win Acala express
I like Acela Express
Thay go fast
the model if that Acela Express does look better to be honnest
odaine reid same
I would have a hornby one but i probably can't find one and i don't have enough money but i like it
The foot pedal is the dead man system (AKA DMS)
That Acela should be doing about 150 mph (241 km/h)
Aviagamer yes, the AI slowed down on the curve, the TGV would have won still but not as easily.
0:18 That train looks like it grew up from teenager to an adult.
Welp its 2020
US transit department has different standards of Engine size
we call the pedals in the SNCF in the Netherlands the * dodemansknop *, then a beep sounds every minute and then the train driver must step on the pedals. if he / she does not, the train will automatically stop. so it is a security system
The pedal needs to be pressed and after 30 sec. released and pressed again, so that the train knows, the driver is there
You know what will always beat the TGV? The acelas horn lol. I mean all bristish train horns are just a single note so it sounds like shit.
PRESTIGER33 Lol its a french train,TGV means Train de Grand Vitesse
what will always beat the TGV are Velaros
PRESTIGER33 I like British train horns
ERO Stars Train à Grande Vitesse
PRESTIGER33lwls
Jeez all of these are vs AMERICAN comments 😂btw I'm AMERICAN/NEW YORK CITY/Brooklyn
-BLANC PAIN- I’m with you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its actually funny to see how many americans think TGV is british.
One thing about us Americans is that we can get up to high speeds REAL FAST
"Why does American always need big things?" Because why not. But in all reality the loading gauge is larger, the crash safety standards require things that make it larger, and well on our tracks, bigger is better, lets leave it at that.....
You know how I feel. The bigger, the better.
I vote for tgv.
OF COURSE YOUR GONNA WIN! YOUR IN THE FASTEST FLIPPING TRAIN IN THE WORLD!
Japanese maglev is faster than the tgv
I like French trains because they are old and beautiful, and make history!!
Hey the tgv duplex is only 25 years old
do Thomas vs. flying scottsman and fun fact about a TGV: a TGV once went 357 miles an hour
***** 574.8 km/h to be precise.
578 KM/h... That's very high !
watch out, melinda is offended that you insulted her shit country
574.6 km/h
True. But there’re faster trains
that was unfair for the US
2:17 cause we need to compensate.
We need to show off our industrial manufacturing power
I like how the single deck Acela is taller than the Duplex
Hell you should See The Size American double deckers
tgv duplex set the world record for train speed
Yeah but not this one
I'll get you next time, TGV!!! HEHEHEHE!!!!
AcelaRailfan2150 no you won't, TGV set the record at over 500KM/H
574,6 I believe , which is more than 350 mph , here he wasn't even racing at 150 mph , so not even half speed of the TGV .
We can set the record on a test, maybe 200MPH. Someday we will overtake the TGV
You put the pantographs on rescue, you have to leave it normal
Wait is it a coincidence or has he stolen the nerdcubeds old catchphrase "hello procrastinators"
3:13 See? America has train tech too! PLUS: Im american OAH
dec. 2022 edit: i have pain looking at this and i really wanna delete it
Who cares
@@fxndz21 i know past me is a disgrace
Your confidence has slightly kicked you in the nuts in the back
Stop being butthurt over a little thing that you can avoid
I voted for the Amtrak acela train
And I ain't gonna lie that was the best race experience I've ever seen
That TGV is a paid actor ...
Cuz there is not a single tag on it lmao
the best is still the ICE maybe it isn't the fastest ( 406 km/h ) but In my opinion nothing can beat an ICE, but ok the TGV Duplex is a beautiful train too, and it's faster. but the ICE is definitely my favourite
you 're saying that just cuz you're german lmao
El oth emany
no, that's my opinion. only because im German dont mean that i cant like other - not German - thimgs. i really like the American CSX Trains, but for me the ICE is the most Beautiful train unter the high speed class
LegitScoper agreed, they look sleek as hell.
Tgv Duplex record (574,6 km/h)
I love Acela express😙
11:44 the box lights up when you talk about it lol
I think the Acela is based on the TGV but slower to fit the needs of America’s aging railroads. They are both French but gg to the TGV.
the newer Avelia LIberty yes.
Do a race against a castle and Daylight A British vs American race
That's a good plan
LaZeR JET sorry for hrassing you on the live stream
LaZeR JET big boy vs flying Scotsman
Just make sure to be careful with your language. No offence, but sometimes it comes off like you don't like us.
Angry A4 Pacific or an A4 Pacific and something else from the same period (I don't know much about American trains, I only pay attention to nice trains)
#TEAMTGVFRENCH
#TeamSNCF
this is not a competition
Wait till the Avelia Liberty comes out. Also, we Americans always exaggerate the size of things especially in Texas!😂🤣😭 Also the Acela's top speed is 150mph and it only runs in the Northeast Corridor by the Atlantic Ocean.
That's a shit top speed
I’m from US and I’m going for Acela Express. GO, ACELA!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
you hurt my feelings because you insulted my contry
boo hoo hoo
your country sucks
Ryder Hall he kinda hurt my feelings
Something Clever shut up
Lazer really hurt my feelings especially at 0:58
Spawny The rabbid
Go cry in a corner, the TGV is statistically better
please TGV vs freccia rossa 1000 ( it a italian train)
Technically TGV is the fastest train in the world as it currently has the world record at full speed , but in terms of line-speeds , I believe Japanese and Chinese trains beat them , but i don't know about italian ones .
Wow I think that is your first race ever
Pisses me off that you put 2 Acela sets together. IRL they only run one.
Yumiko Monte jazz
Yo TGV. No Acala express. TGV is better than acela express.
you rude
Knut Brottveit Well I say no to your spelling.
But he right
priorities...
***** The Acela uses the same horn? What in the fuck? It uses different horns.
Chill, TGV is 80kph faster than the Acela Express!
Jeez man I'M AMERICAN!
Not very good it's good for me
Why do they call it (The Acela Express) why not (The Accelerate Express) because it accelerate's fast
The reason it is "Acela" is because 8t accelerates so fast
Also Aclea horn is louder because stupid people in NYC also for people working on the tracks people,Also u say u can't get u to the Aclea however if u see it in real life u will.trust me U WILL😂
Americans are 30 years behind for high-speed trains! The TGV is much higher than the Acela Express ....
