<p>I think the writer has a misconception about HSR, at least in Europe. You don't need to have average speeds above 200 mph. You have to be competetive with air transportation.</p> <p>And his example San Francisco to Los Angeles Union Station works. Travelling time is planned at 2 hrs 40 min. Flying time is about 1.5 hours plus check in and check out times.</p> <p>With HRS you can provide service to cities on the line not limiting the service to the end points.</p> <p>The new German HSR line between Munich and Berlin is with three intermediate stops a bit faster than the flight including the time at the airports . There are other, 40 minutes slower trains with more intermediate stops.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
