[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 4095836, member: 50088"] Just based in reality. At best, high speed rail could only be viable in parts of California, and the Northeast (which already has the Acela Express running between Boston and DC). Japan has a population density of 334 people per sq km. The UK has 268 per sq km. The US? 33 people per sq km. The US has the most expansive highway system in the world. Most Americans own cars and love the freedom of cars. Gas is much cheaper in America than elsewhere. Flying is affordable for long distance trips. All these factors = a big no for high speed rail.
