I was going to write more or less the same thing. The headline is very misleading. Sure, I&#x27;d be interested in viable, reasonably cost effective high speed rail that connected cities I travel between. (Which doesn&#x27;t really describe any of the routes on that map.)<p>I like trains. I rarely travel between Boston and Manhattan any other way. But there just aren&#x27;t a lot of routes in the US between high traffic city pairs where travel time at realistic high speed rail speeds with appropriate intermediate stops are going to get you to the 4 hour or so range that you have to hit to be viable. Few business travelers are going to take an 8 hour+ train trip when there&#x27;s a 2 hour flight option.
