Indeed, which I alluded to in my comment. There are longer rail lines, mostly in China, and mostly built over the past decade.
However, the commenter I replied to claimed that California High Speed Rail would be a short line, when in reality it would have been longer than all but a small handful of high-speed lines, almost all in China.
- melling 7y agoI guess it’s really a matter of how you add up the lines. This article is six years old but it makes it sound like a 500 mile HSR line is not that big of a deal: https://www.railway-technology.com/features/featurethe-worlds-longest-high-speed-railway-lines-4149752/ https://www.railway-technology.com/features/featurethe-world... China built most of its 19,000 miles in the last 15 years. Not sure why you discount that.
