Bullet Trains Are Coming to America. Too Bad Our Old Rail Lines Can’t Handle Them. Only a measly 375 miles of U.S. track are equipped for 100+ mph speeds. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a45025005/bullet-trains-in-usa-high-speed-rail-complications/

Bullet Train

perviouslyiner,

It’s hardly surprising that you don’t have high speed track if there was never a need for it? Not only do you need straighter routes but also the more expensive construction and the electronic in-cab signalling, which is just part of the package when introducing skinkansen

@perviouslyiner There is a need for it. America as whole needs a more robust public transportation system.
