Considering HSR. <br /> <br />The first place to build it would be Boston-NYC-Washington... <br /> <br />At 150 mph AVERGE speed (twice the acela afair) this would sweep airlines out of business. Of cour$e that require$ certain amount of ca$h. <br /> <br />There are two main problems. <br /> <br />1. there is no political goodwill to find the funding <br />2. current FRA crashworthiness standards are disconnected from reality. And running battletanks at 200 mph sure is expen$ive. <br /> <br />But if it was done right it would capture most of the traffic and (gasp!) would actually be profitable, As Acela (despite being technical failure) proved quite well.
