So much for cordially concluding this thread about... 30 posts ago.I have two completely different, small responses to what you said: 1. Concerning your apparently delightful plane ride from PA to FL, most of the people in this thread never said that such trips should be made via rail, because you're right, it would be ridiculous. But as far as finding a cheaper alternative, looking at things besides people eating microwaved food and the tops of clouds, and avoiding all of the new security measures at the airports, many people would ride it if it could just be faster. I have several friends whose highlights of their vacations to Florida are the overnight trains they take there - and they can't tell whether a Big Boy 4-8-8-4 is a steam or electric locomotive. 2. While you may think that 60-70 mph is all that is needed by Amtrak to bring riders onto certain corridors, especially the northeast, you can attract HUMONGOUS crowds with something the American people can be proud of; something new, techy and special. If you were to bring a maglev train that runs over 100 mph to any popular corridor (or even some unpopular ones, as suggested too), you'll most likely get a gargantuan crowd of railfanners looking for a ride on the trains of the 21st century without traversing half the world.Please excuse any bad grammar which you may find.
