The US's railroad network is made up of around 140,000 miles of track, but many of our trains are slow and outdated.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.

Someone, anyone please tell me why you would take a high speed train instead of an airliner? If a train CAN reach 220 MPH, it means it will really only average about a 110. How many times will it have to stop and wait to be loaded and off loaded? High speed rail is a pipe dream as in literally, put down the OPIUM pipe dude.

high speed rail doesn't do local it runs intercity so few stops and it doesn't run on local tracks so no slow freight in the way. What you don't realise is this has been successfully done in other places. You can't just keep loading up the skies with more and more planes and point to point high speed rail can be faster than airlines once you take travel time to and from airports and security restrictions into account
