Could the US even run high-speed rail like France and Japan if it decided to?
#3
The Acela just needs straighter (and better) track to do 200 mph.

They (Japan and Europe) do consultant work. Just takes money.
The Acela technically has a European heritage.

Population density lends itself to paybacks. Working in the NorthEast Corridor now that road and air fuel costs have risen.
Should work on the left coast in sections of S.Ca..

If we stop building in the corn fields and building highways and infrastructure to support urban sprawl, there's money for rail.
