Yes, my map is a good place to start. We can always add more lines later, hopefully after the first lines are a huge success! When I ride Amtrak I have noticed that more than half of the passengers are going all the way and more. Therefore, I suggested building to the four major population areas east of the Rockies: the NEC, the Midwest, Texas, and Florida. The best hubs in my opinion are New York City, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta. We need to get this parralegram built first, adding legs off of it later, although I think its essential to finish all three legs into Florida out of Atlanta....from Dallas, Chicago, and Washington DC. <br /> <br />Why stop at Detroit from Chicago, why not go half way to Cleveland? And if we are going to go half way from New York City, why not go all the way to Chicago and through Detroit even if its a bit out of the way from Toledo? Sixty miles at 186 mph is around 20 minutes. Its the same with the other legs of my parralegram, especially to Atlanta. Atlanta is only two thirds of the way to Florida. <br /> <br />The map again: <br />http://homepage.mac.com/donclark/.Public/DonHSR.jpg
