Sadly, I have to admit not much. However, having traveled quite a bit in Europe, using rail solves many problems with customs. Yes, a high speed rail network I suggest, which actually follows the high speed suggestions already declared, WITH THE MISSING PIECES IN PLACE, would be worth it for everyone... and it won't cost $200 billion, $100 billion is more likely. <br /> <br />The underlying truth of the matter is that the airlines have almost already reached their peak, as air space over the major cities is becoming a problem........From the long point of view, high speed rail makes sense, it will be another alternative, since most of us to not wi***o drive long distances on interstates and freeways filled with uninsured Mexican truckers......but that is another subject matter entirely..... <br /> <br />If you are a great rail fan, I highly suggest you fly to Europe, and ride the high speed rail from Paris to Lyons, or better yet, the high speed rail from Rome to Florence...... When you do, you will come to the conclusion most Americans have already come to: Amtrak as it currently exists, rates a 10 out of a hundred while the French and Italians rate a 99......
