Just my opinion,but, I think that HSR is gonna be THE next big swindle. And I expect it to go over like this: Peoples emotions will be played, offering to return passenger rail to a lot of communities that lost out as Amtral shrank and contracted over the decades. Some crook will come up with the great idea that abandoned right of ways can be used, with taxpayer funded rehab to the roadbed.. Calls will be made for local level 'matching funds" just like the robber barons of the 19th century called ipon cities to pay for a route to their towns. The game plan will suggest that building a 110-120 mile an hour "startup" operation makes the most sense, with the REAL hi speed to come "later" 'Later' will never come,...instead the construction companies that build phase one will pocket the federal and local level contributions, and it will be decided that demand/ridership is too weak to justify the full blown HSR... So, the money spent will go a long way to enriching the principals of the plan, and the tax payers get handed a white elephant. That is my prediction anyway..
