You would still have to get from Chicago to the West Coast. Certaibly, between Chicago and Denver, I would imagine that 150 mph average would be possible; maybe a bit higher. In 10 hours you would cover 1500 miles. <br /> <br />You would either have to climb over the Rockies or cut a very long tunnel. <br /> <br />However, for the immediate period, it would be useful if someone would be willing to put a few million Amtrak's way to repair the wreck-damaged cars. This is a classic case of 'sweating the assests'; something BR had to do in the UK for many years. Howevwer, in the long-term it is counter-productive as the remaining units are overworked. <br /> <br />Jason.
