I share the same pipe dream. The Zephyr is a second class passenger service on old freight lines. They won’t be able to retrofit high speed rail on them, Amtrak spent enormous sums for the Acela and it only beats the Northeast Regional by 25 minutes between NYC and DC over a three and a half hour trip. The political gridlock to extend such a design across the Great Plains and through the Rockies pains me to imagine.
