Also, western Europe has a much larger population density, sort of like the north eastern corridor of the US were Amtrak makes some sense. Plus the local US governments use their transit funds as a union slush fund. Everyone is overpaid and underworked. Not sure what is going on in Europe. Look at BART in the Bay Area. Should be pretty much paid for, but they are not collecting fares, not maintaining track and trains and no way to effectively police the trains when there is no penalty for most crimes in SF.

The the NEC is a joke compared to Europe... 125 mph max and too many curves. The only positive about WW2 is when they rebuilt Europe they put the trains in and it is very efficient now.

Sure, that's why I said you need a combo of systems but it would be far more efficient... and I am not calling for it due to cost... but if I was a lefty that's what I would be pushing.
