$20 million per mile seems very expensive, although if that includes new land purchase and blasting holes in mountains, then it seems reasonable. What about via Cheyenne?. <br /> <br />Obviously, new, twin-track High-Speed Lines would be a long-term goal. Wherever they are built, they should be planned properly. The fiasco over our West Coast Main Line from London to Glasgow is meaning that there is no guarantee that we will get 140 mph trains running. The current final estimate is close to £13 billion (about $27 billion). <br /> <br />But certainly, the 'easy' bits between Chicago and Denver could be upgraded for both passenger and freight fairly quickly and cheaply. <br /> <br />Jason..
