Other than the Boston to Washington DC northeast corridor, and possibly the Buffalo to Albany to New York City empire corridor most trains in America run at best at 79 mph, and usually average around 50 mph (and that figure is positive). Therefore in most of America it is faster to drive a car at 70 mph than to ride the train at 50 mph. <br /> <br />However, if we built more high speed train tracks of 150-189 mph around the country, we would see more people riding the trains. Amtrak has put in place fast trains on the northeast corridor, the problem still lies in slow track. What good is a fast train in western Connecticut when the train has to travel across an old bridge at 30 mph, or even slower? <br /> <br />The railroads cannot afford to keep all of their tracks fast, nor can they afford to even keep the tracks Amtrak runs on fast. Therefore, the simple solution is for the government to take charge, to build the fast tracks needed. Who else?
