Amtrak is higher speed rail. HSR needs to average 140mph - including stops at any station between where you want to go.

Nobody would consider Tokaido Shinkansen to not be HSR, but it averages ~125mph.

They should. Back in the day it was built that was high speed, but technology has marched on and it shouldn't be called high speed anymore.
