In summary, per mile:- Flat farmland and flat desert are relatively cheap - Hills, and even more so real mountains, are quite expensive - Suburbs are extremely expensive - Cities are unbelievably expensive Even Dallas to Houston is going to be quite expensive in total because of the sprawling suburbs. LA to SF has cities, suburbs, and mountains that push up the price, along with a lot of flat farmland and flat desert. You could do Stockton to Bakersfield at a reasonable price, but that misses almost all of the demand. The NE corridor is continuous cities and suburbs. NY to Chi has some cities, a lot of suburbs, and a lot of hills/moderate mountains, along with the flat farmland of OH and IN. |

You don't know what you're talking about again, as usual. Don't try to excuse your hatred of trains.the area around present day interstates is fully developed and there is no room for HSR corridors Take a closer look at the room next to those interstates. (The former New York & Long Branch is still next to the NJ Turnpike, for example, and there is still room on stretches further out to build railroads adjacent.) Never mind the fact that government in fact took over railroad ROW to build interstates in many cases (e.g. I-80 through Paterson NJ). Also, you fail to note that dedicated HSR rights of way do not extend into the cities and suburbs anyhow, where the high-speed trains use the "traditional" railroads and run at slower speeds. This is especially the case in France and Germany, and cross-border trains between those two countries even switch voltages between 15 kV 16⅔Hz and 25kV 50Hz (AC) and even onto 1,500V DC. |

Also, you fail to note that dedicated HSR rights of way do not extend into the cities and suburbs anyhowWell, that kills HSR for the northeast corridor, since it consists entirely of cities and suburbs. And you don't address hilly and mountainous terrain, which are much more of a problem in the US than in the heavily populated portions of Europe. |

So What, that is not 'farmland' that is open and easily acquired for an ROW. That is a patchwork that is rather tight like a suburban sub-division, you aint going to build an HSR line through there without expense. |

"Farmland" and "North Dakota farmland" are not identical concepts.The farmland shown in that picture is less open than ND farmland, but more open than, say, the suburbs of Dallas. It's more like Ohio farmland. We know that ROW costs are low in ND. Unfortunately, that's not where the demand for HSR is. ROW costs are considerably higher in PA and even much of CA, not to mention places like CT, where the demand is highest. |

Super expresses are perfect for HSR.And keep that commie epithet to yourself. The I-80/380 corridor would be highly suitable for tilting HSR in addition. |

Wheels are equally round here or there, or should be.If can deficiency can be 8 or 11 inches, that also means excess cant can be at least that much. So you could have a curve with 11 inches of static cant. I'll bet the NEC uses less than that, even on Jenkins Curve where it's really needed. Double stacks wouldn't work, but they aren't on the NEC in any case. |

All three systems make use of considerable tunneling or viaducts where needed. |

Better acceleration when compared to the LIRR stock, and arguably better at serving regional needs too... |

All three systems make use of considerable tunneling or viaducts where neededBut now you're back to very high per-mile costs. The premise a few dozen posts back is that you could build HSR cheaply along interstates and through farmland. |
