Actually, if we wanted to upgrade 6,000 miles of our track to 100 mph, it would cost $59 billion, and to 150 mph, it would cost $120 billion. Two good web sites to check on the goings of high speed rail is at <br />http://o-keating.com/hsr and at <br />http://www.railway-technology.com <br /> <br />I noticed that Virgin airlines is involved with your west coast main line, which is 4 tracks, the outer two for freight, the inner two for high speed passenger trains, the passenger trains using the freight track to access the depots and stations. <br /> <br />In America, especially west of the Mississippi River, double rail would be nice. <br /> <br />How about this for a dream corridor. The Trans Texas Corridor is in the works for the next half century, see its 98 page report at <br />http://www.dot.state.tx.us/ttc/ttc_report_full.pdf <br /> <br />
