There’s essentially no room for HSR in America in the very corridors where it would be most successfulDidn't know you hated trains that much. Didn't stop to think that the places we build interstate highways are also the places we can build HSR corridors? (You know, like how they're built next to Autobahns.) Not to mention, the fewer stops an intercity train makes, the higher the average speed gets—and besides that, even at a 145-mph average speed, a high-speed train with stops would still get from NY to Chicago in six hours (presuming the most direct route; think I-80 and nearby), and a nonstop could possibly do it in 4½ hours. |
