And I wanted to add to the previous post that the Talgos and the trainsets the Cascades are using would make great examples for other states to emulate for their locals. However, I want Amtrak to use TGV Thalys electrified trainsets. Let Amtrak run the electrics, let the locals run the Talgos... <br /> <br />Another scenario. Someone in Memphis drives a couple of hours to Birmingham Alabama, catches the Thalys to Atlanta, waits an hour, and catches another Thalys to Washington DC. He should be able to leave Memphis at 8 am, arrive in Birmingham at 10-11 am, catches the Thalys at 11 am, arrives in Atlanta at noon, and catches another Thalys at 1 pm and arrives in DC before 6 pm. Not bad for a days journey. Keep in mind he can ride the Acela and be in New York City before 10 pm......Frequency and high speed rail will sell.......if not just for curiosity......
