The world leaping ahead of us, the U.S. still has no fast trains.

High Speed Rail is not economically viable anywhere in the world. It only exists where governments decide that it is beneficial, but it requires huge subsidies.

Here in the U.S., where gas is still relatively cheap, everyone owns a car, and air travel is also relatively affordable, the investment in high-speed rail simply makes no sense. The proof that it is insane is the fact that they are doing it in California. Unsuccessfully.
