OK that's a stretch

BTW I think high speed rail can work and is needed however on a limited scale. The east coast could certainly benefit down to Virginia and has the potential to make money. The rest of the country except maybe California makes no sense.

IMO You'd be hard pressed to fill a single train leaving (once/day) from Chicago to St. Louis, Detrot, Indy, Louisville, Cleveland, (Maybe Madison/Party train) etc etc. Not in a hundred years will the building of it (both track and cars) be paid for by the service and it all would have been replaced 50 years before that.
