There seems to be some movement on high speed rail in the states.

It's funny, it's the one country on the planet that would really benefit from doing it and yet they're really late to the party.

I don't know. High speed rail makes a lot of sense for dense countries. For countries with a lot of empty space in between, airplanes start to look relatively better.

(Fast rail may still be the way to go for NY to California, who knows. It is definitely viable inside the sprawls, like the East Coast or the West Coast.)
