I agree, it will take 20 years or more to build a high speed rail network. Nevertheless we should be planning, engineering, and finding a source of funding it now....not 20 years in the future.... As for today, we could eliminate all of the long distance runs Amtrak operates, keeping only those planned earmarked for high speed rail. And as you suggest, upgrade the track that the then new Amtrak would be operating on say to 80-100 mph. The P-42s can run that fast, they pull the Lakeshore Limited on the Empire Corridor 100+ mph today. But I wouldn't bother doing the latter until we have done the former.
