High speed rail won't be competive with the airlines when distances surpass 400-500 miles. They simply lose too much time. I believe that individual high speed rail corridors connecting major cities will be what we see first. Outside of the NEC, I can see routes like: <br /> <br /> <ul><li>Washington, D.C. - Charlotte via Richmond and Raleigh </li><li>Dallas - Houston </li><li>Chicago Hub and Spoke to Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Des Moines, St. Louis, etc. </li><li>Tampa - Orlando and Miami </li><li>Cleveland - Cincinatti via Columbus </li><li>California lines </li><li>Seattle - Portland</li><li> Few more that I can't think of at this time...</li></ul> <br /> <br />These are all within a few hundred miles of each other and large cities that could support the demand for high speed rail service.
