The good news is that soon there’ll be the California High Speed rail line. I’m hopeful that I can make a good long trip over there once it opens in a few years to check it out. Heck maybe I’ll move to California for a year or two? Who knows!

- The before map would be of the only high speed train the US currently has, and it’s the Acela Express. So, something like this.
- If lots of people are consuming Tylenol in day to day life, and it causes autism, and some autistic people love trains, then the US should have a system like the map posted.

I always forget the Acela is technically a high speed rail. It would only actually be a tiny fraction of that line. Less than 10% of the line is HSR

That has to be the slowest high-speed rail in the world. 260km/h is not even that fast and it only reaches this speed for couple minutes.

260 is pretty decent for HSR, lots of services are called “high speed” despite only being 200km/h (the thing is just that the services run almost the entire line at that speed)
