What Amtrak needs is its own high speed rail network. Forget the freight right of way, its a right of way of freight, not passengers. <br /> <br />A national plan, similar to the interstate highway system needs to be instituted. I suggest a high speed rail network of Boston to Miami along the east coast, a New York City to Denver route through Chicago, a route from the big state of Texas to Chicago, and a west coast line between the Bay area and Los Angeles to start.... A third of the east coast line is almost already built. Such a starter network, it can be expanded later, would get some sort of high speed rail nearby to at least half of America's population... I don't see a high speed rail as being feasible over the Rocky Mountains or the Sierra Nevadas.
