Vision for High Speed Rail in America

I would LOVE to see this happen. I really feel that a highspeed rail corridor between NYC and Buffalo would open up the whole state to increased commerce and development.

:tup: that would be sick!

Ghey that the eastern seaboard isn’t connected to the midwest, but I guess a couple hundred miles of standard rail isn’t so bad.

But yeah that sounds pretty sweet. I would definitely take it to see my sister in law in Boston.

I think it would make sense to at least have an express line to connect Cleveland, Chicago, etc with the Empire line.

I like.
But they should have at least one coast-to-coast route. There are still people out there that won’t fly.

I’d be amazed if this happened. But it would def rock. :tup:

This would be perfect if they could get this moving asap.

This could be that public work project that could employ thousands.

Word. A hi speed run from NY to LA would make Woody Guthrie cry tears of joy from the grave.

I guess the “money” is there. What we need now is the cooperation of the politicians to get projects moving and start using the funds.

Cooperation among politicians may be a tall order around here though :meh:

Great. So it’ll get the Mexicans from Texas to the rest of the country faster. How about we just stop digging our debt deeper?

Sounds like another great way to waste money :tup:

really?

this is actually a really cool idea.

Yes, really. Cool, maybe…necessary, I don’t think so.

We can merge this the “airline bailout thread” when it gets created.

Did you even read the article? This is a great Idea

International and coast-to-coast are where the money is…they don’t make money on $59 flights from Buffalo to NYC.

Yes, I did.

Of all the people who have said so far this is such a great idea…If it does get built, I’ll bet 1 out of 10 will actually use it.

It seriously blows my mind that anybody would be against modern rapid mass-transit in this country. :spank:

I would love HSR to NYC for cheap.
