Don't have to. My plan is actually less than DOT's plans. DOT plans do have gaps, but do we really need two lines out of Dallas going north, and two lines in the Carolinas going south? Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on one line and filling in the gaps? See this web page of a map of high speed rail corridor designations and extensions at <br />http://www.fra.dot/rdv/hsgt/index.htm <br /> <br />And I still think the Europeans are correct about this too. I wish DOT saw it their way. It is UNSAFE to operate high speed trains running 180 mph on track with freight trains running 30 mph. It would be a nightmare for the dispatchers! Or do you suggest we stop a passenger train going 180 mph for 20 minutes to allow a slow freight to pass the siding? Why bother to go fast if you are going to stop for so long?
