HSR makes sense when one endpoint is only a certain distance from the otherNot quite. You got a real good chance of getting high average speeds even with long-distance trips. Using the shortest route (which is still possible), an express HST going from New York to Chicago would take a mere 4½ hours. Imagine doing a transcon sleeper NY-LA or NY-SF overnight? |
