The majority of the Midwest is within 200 miles of a major population center. And then any effort to establish more government offices would tend to choose areas at least nearby existing centers.

(You can check this with chains like Cleveland-Detroit-Chicago-St Louis-Kansas City; each interval is less than 300 miles)

I don't disagree that it would need to be an incremental process.

It sounds like we agree completely then, 200/300 miles is just the kind of distance that a high-speed train is perfect for.
