The track, the track, the signals and the crossings. When will Americans realize that as long as we run passenger trains down the same railroad tracks as freight trains, we won't go fast. The Europeans have already learned that fast passenger trains going over 140 mph do not mesh with slow freight trains going 80 mph. It is a dispatcher's nightmare! It is UNSAFE! And to think the average speed of a freight train in America is less than 30 mph! If one wants a fast train, the diesel Talgos fastest speed is 138 mph. Bombadier's Jet train can do 150 mph, and the TGV and ICE electric trains do 186 mph. BUT NONE OF THESE PASSENGER TRAINS WILL GO FASTER THAN 120 MPH RIDING ON THE SAME RAILS AS FREIGHT! Frankly, we need to get it into our heads that the government is going to have to build fast track, because the private freight companies have FAILED to keep and their maintain their tracks for 30 mph.
