<i>The problem is that there aren&#x27;t any other areas in the country that are as well-suited for busy inter-city rail as the Boston to DC corridor.</i><p>A lot of money&#x27;s being pumped into trying a high-speed rail corridor between Los Angeles and San Francisco. And to be honest, I&#x27;d think there&#x27;s at least a moderately good case for running up to Portland, Seattle and possibly even Vancouver. There&#x27;s an awful lot of tech-industry commuting by air on those routes right now.
