The US's railroad network is made up of around 140,000 miles of track, but many of our trains are slow and outdated. Over the last couple of decades, countries like China, Japan, the UK, and France have made large investments in high-speed rail, and some groups in the US are urging that we do the same.

Here's what a high-speed rail network could look like in the US.

Wow! You mean we could travel where, and when, the government and the union thugs say we can?

Wow!

Sounds great for poor people and those who don't have to get somewhere at a time convenient for them.

Nobody I know wants to travel to, or between, "major cities" - we avoid "major cities". But we can get into our cars, or on our motorcycles, and head out to any place we desire at any time of day, stopping where we wish for as long as we wish.

It's like being the opposite of a Euro Peon.
