Just a consideration.What do you plan to do when trying to reach inner city centers? Where do you propose to put these lines? Reaching city centers will be very expensive.The 20 MILE long Alameda Corrior,which linked the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach cost 2.4 billion dollars.It was a joint venture between the RR's (UP BNSF)The ports and the communities.Funding came from bond issues,loans,and grants.It cost so much because it had to be built in a densely populated area. <br /> Just something to consider while planning your high speed inter-city rail network.
