re: #64 lobo91
If it has “many stops along the way,” then there’s probably not much point in building a train that can go 300 mph for it.
High-speed trains are not for taking cars off the road. They’re efficient alternatives to short-hop air travel. Houston to Dallas, as an example.
HOWEVER, unlike airlines IN MOST CASES, these trains are all “showpiece” government projects that never ever break even.
