Bill in congress would change USA definition of HSR. Here is paragraph from NY Times. note Higher speed is not mentioned. (HrSR )
In addition to providing historic levels of funding for HSR, the bill redefines HSR projects to mean trains that reach speeds of 160+ mph on existing tracks or 186+ mph on new, dedicated tracks. Previously, HSR projects have been defined in the U.S. as 110+ for shared-use tracks and 125+ for dedicated lines.
