Still waiting for the high speed trains of USA...

The distances are too long.
Air travel is cheaper for that sort of
range,

And pollutes the planet in the usual US way.

and as we've found out, trains are far too prone to sabotage.
Any moron with a chunk of steel can knock a train off the tracks.

That's a shame, too, I like trains.

And the vast majority of Americans have decent cars, so "long" trips by
European standards are common weekend trips by US standards.

Yet more pollution.
