Will someone please come back down to earth on this forum? Talk of high speed corridors hundreds and even thousands of miles long is ridiculous. High speed rail's potential is probably 300 miles tops even in Europe and Japan. The NE Corridor is actually two corridors - southern New England (Boston-Phil.) and Middle Atlantic (southern Connecticut-DC) There is very little through DC-Boston ridership. As for the absurd notion that people will drive from Memphis to Birmingham and then change trains several times enroute to do an all-day Memphis-NYC trip, that's what airplanes are for! <br /> <br />The tradgedy is that the politicians are just as bad as you railfans. Check the TRAINS website listing for all the federally approved high-speed corridors and see how many: A) are longer than 300 miles (either existing rail or interstate highway), or do not have a million-plus metropolitan area at each end (and consider how many such corridors meeting the above criteria are off the list)! <br />
