So you are one of those who want to ride the Empire Builder which has a daily service instead of your thrice weekly transcontinental train that runs through Edmonton. Do you live in Calgary? Frankly, I am for Amtrak terminating the transcontinentals. Amtrak should concentrate its efforts into high speed rail east of the Rockies (Denver only) and west of the Sierras. A nice parralegram would connect the northeast corridor to Chicago, Chicago to Dallas/Houston, Dallas/Houston to Atlanta/Jacksonville, and Atlanta/Jacksonville to the northeast corridor. If this parralegram was super fast, 186 mph TGV fast, someone from Dallas to either get to Florida and/or Chicago in 6 hours averaging 150 mph on around 900 miles of track.... Someone from Dallas could get as far as New York City in 12 hours..... NOT TWO DAYS, NOT ONE DAY WITH AN OVERNIGHT TRIP! The major metropolitan populations of over 5 million are: New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington/Baltimore, Atlanta, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The major metropolitan populations of over 2 million are: Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Charlotte, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Nashville, Lousiville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Milwaukee, Denver, Austin/San Antonio, Phoenix, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Portland, and Seattle. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. A good plan to build high speed rail would be to connect the cities of 5 million first, and then expand the network to cities of 2 million second. Many smaller cities along the routes would also be included. Those large cities that are missed would only be a short 2-3 hour bus drive away.
