The cost of building a high speed rail from NYC to LA is estimated to cost about 48 Billion. I guess my question is, why do you have to go so fast? I mean isn’t the health of the planet worth slowing down for?
And I hate to be a downer but high speed trains would only be an improvement if they were fueled by renewable resources. And, this will hurt even more......you can’t get to Europe by train. You will have to take a really slow boat. No airplanes, sorry.
