The NEC is what it is and might never be changed.As far as GOOD HSR, a NYC-CHI route would be fairly easy despite suburban growth... You use the I-80 ROW for the base route. Since HSR uses its own structure it is a simple matter to run over or under most grade changes, and to string-line a few curves. People here nay-say me, but there is no reason why it could not be done. There is no reason why an HSR could not make the NYC-CHI run in say five hours, and that is competitive with air travel when you add in travel to and from airpots, obligatory waiting and the TSA.
