However, we are not Europe. Our major population centers of the Notheast, Midwest, Texas and Florida are 800 to 900 miles apart. However, a train averaging 150 mph can accompli***hese journey in 6 hours. Is 6 hours too long for a train ride? I have been know to drive to Fort Worth in an hour, Waco in two hours, Austin in four hours, San Antonio in five hours, and to Corpus Christi in seven hours. Heck, it takes 6 hours to drive to Memphis from Dallas, and 6 hours to drive to Kansas City. The drive from Dallas to Houston is four hours, and five hours to Galveston. Wouldn't it be nice to get to Houston in less than 2 hours from Dallas on a high speed train? Or for that matter, to get to Atlanta or Chicago in 6 hours?
