I'm not saying to stop in every podunk town along the way. Like the NEC, you could have varying levels of service. Chicago to Cleveland could be an express making Chicago-Gary-South Bend-Toledo-Cleveland and a local making additional stops. Chicago-Cinci would be Chicago-Gary-Lafayette-Indy-Cinci or something similar. It could definitely hit speeds fast enough to make it faster than flying while serving those stops without blowing the billions of dollars on all new ROW. If any additional stops were ever warranted a more local train could run the same line. |
