If we had high speed trains, averaging 150 mph with a few stops, not quite at Europe's standards of 186 mph, we could travel 1800 miles in 12 hours....which is the distance from Dallas thru Chicago to New York City.....Or one can travel the distance from Chicago to Miami in 9 hours....Or one can travel from Chicago to Dallas in 6 hours..... <br /> <br />The key is high speed rail. The technology exists. It is cheaper than building new four lane interstates..... And after a 10,000 mile network is built, there would be no need to fund aiports with federal funds at $12 billion per year. <br /> <br />
