Same reason the Chicago to New York train- takes hours longer than it did 100 years ago. Kind of.
Modern version:
The Acella Train ( D.C. to Boston) was suppose to take x mount of hours but they translated the width off the tracks (inches) too wide compared to the spacing of the wheels ( Metric ) European train on American tracks. Train cannot reach top-speed.There is also the fact that the tracks are too "bumpy" which has less to do with measurement..
