I am of the opinion that Amtrak should shut down its transcontinental lines, and concentrate on HSR, Chicago to New York City, Boston to Miami thru Atlanta, and Oakland to Los Angeles... When these are built turning an operational profit, I would like to see a HSR line from Chicago to Houston thru Dallas, a line from Houston to Jacksonville, and a line from Chicago to Atlanta..... These lines will cut thru 27 of the 50 states.... with over 80 percent of the nation's population..... <br /> <br />And keep building and expanding the HSR system.... Most of these lines are less than 900 miles in length. A train averaging over 150 mph could do these runs in 6 hours or less.... Because of the shortened time, the same number of trainsets operating on these lines could provide instead of a daily service a twice a day service easily..... No more Cleveland departures and arrivals past midnight.... a train leaving Chicago at 9 AM could be in Cleveland by noon and in New York City by 3 PM. Considering air traffic and congestion at the airports, this might be competitive in time......and price..... <br /> <br />One thing is for certain, no one in Europe is calling for the elimination of their High Speed trains......
