Gonna be tough to fire those rockets on compost fuel -
High speed rail would have been fantastic about 40 years ago.
Even though Amtrak on the easy coast isn't high speed it kicks the crap out of flying.
I think it would make sense throughout Texas first.
Not too far of distances and nothing in between the cities. That California route is a fucking nightmare.
Phoenix and Tucson actually not a bad idea. -
Albuquerque to Santa Fe was a waste. The West coast is too spread out for trains to make sense other than light rail stuff in town. San Diego and Portland both have a sweet setup.Pitchfork51 said:High speed rail would have been fantastic about 40 years ago.

You can't have shit too close. Then you don't get there fast.
Like 100-250 or 300 is the sweet spot. Especially if it's flat and not much shit in between. -
Yes and the East coast is set up for that. But West coast is too Spread out. Albuquerque is lame unless you live right next to the a station and need to go right next to a station. It takes to long when you can just drive. I've made that commute a couple hundred times in the last 10 years.Pitchfork51 said:

I've ridden the Railrunner between ABQ and SF a couple times while on a family vacations. Seems like it had good ridership when we were on it. The bathrooms smelled like the 4th Ave Taco Bell bathrooms though. Holy moses it was nasty.2001400ex said:
