Acela Express
... New high speed trains for the Northeast Corridor, linking a string of cities from Washington to Boston. The Acela Express trains are not exactly TGVs, but incorporate a few TGV technologies. They replace the 125 mph (200 km/h) Metroliners.

Florida Overland eXpress (FOX)
... A failed attempt to connect the Florida cities of Tampa, Orlando, and Miami with a 200 mph (320 km/h) TGV train.
