High speed rail would be a joke in the U.S. It's feasible elsewhere but not here. I don't know one single person who would use the rail if it was built... shruggy

Well we have what is a joke for high speed rail, If the infrastructure was put in back in the 40-50's it might be a more feasible today. I watched a documentary about it and people don't want the line going near their house, threw farm land etc.. Under ground would be viable option but expensive. I would think by today we would at least have it going to all the major cities but no.
