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.

Actually, while a lot of people try to claim that, very few trains are
that efficient. Most UK trains, for example, are *more* polluting, when
you take electrical generation and coal use into account.

All most trains do is *move* the pollution to places outside of the
cities.
