Two criticisms of the map:<p>1. A high speed line down the California coast is totally impractical. Mountains, granite and huge grade changes make for an expensive proposition.<p>2. The broken links in the midwest between the network in Texas&#x2F;Oklahoma with that stemming from Chicago is silly. Their are mothballed Rights-of-Way there that are perfect alignments for HSR.<p>Outside that, I&#x27;m still very much interested in a way to make HSR work in a number of areas for the US.
