AntiGates......if there was Coast to Coast highspeed rail service.....you think most people would be riding coast to coast? Of course not.......it would be at the intermediate stops. <br />One thing that's often forgotten about.....TRAINS ARE NOT LIKE PLANES.......with airplanes, it doesn't make economical sense to have them landing at multiple stops (which is why it's seldom done, except with certain longer routes that call at more obscure destinations) Trains, on the other hand, you don't have to spend all that money for landing fees and refueling at each stop. Sure, on corridor trains you'll find more end-to-end riders......but on longer routes, more people get on or off at intermediate locations. <br /> <br />~Ra'akone
