I'm 52 years old. I wonder if I will live long enough to see this "High Speed" corridor actually run at high speed. I think the transcontinental railroad took less time to build.

I rode Acela Express, the Michigan service, the Lincoln services, through the higher and the not-so-higher segments. What if the all the doomsayers for decades were never listened to and the high speeds would have been built decades ago? Aren't they saying the same arguments today told decades ago? We should have built them years ago.
