It would be great if we had train service doing this, but it would take years to do and billions of dollars. It's taken the past 5 years for North Carolina to upgrade track conditions and grade crossings only from Charlotte to Raleigh to where trains will only be able to operate at maximum speeds of 110 mph. It would take even longer and more money to do it through the entire state and for rail service that could reach speeds of 150 mph. Don't think you could ever average 150 though; Acela speeds top at 150 and you of course have station stops and the acceleration and braking times between the stations also. <br /> <br />I would like to see Bombardier's JetTrain technology put into place if the railroads ever did come to do this operational level, rather than electrifying hundreds upon hundreds of miles of track.
