Re:As the U.S. fantasizes, the world builds high speed rail by cmyr on Saturday July 01, 2017 @07:25PM (#14679699)
doing some napkin math (and assuming you can lay track with a run length about equal to doing this by car) you'd need a train averaging 250mph. Current top average speeds for wheeled trains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGV) are in the 170mph range.
