![[image] What I wish high-speed rail were like in North America](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2a660a9c-0c5f-4947-b7fd-cbd578403df9.png){kind=link}
I tried to make it fairly realistic. Obviously I would like HSR absolutely everywhere, but a line through middle of nowhere Montana probably would not see much ridership and would come at extreme cost (especially in the mountains).

Is this 11-hour figure based on driving or some type of train that already exists?
There is a train, it’s 10 hours. And by car it’s 6 hours…
High speed rail goes faster than traditional rail
The clue is in the name, see!
In related news, I’m never going by Nonstop Testicular Torsion Rail again no matter how cheap the tickets are.
Train that already exists, depart is at 11AM and you arrive in NYC at 10PM.
By car it’s way faster, 6 or 7h iirc
