Since when is 125mph high-speed rail?

  It's America, so lower your expectations :( Although, the first Shinkansen model had a max speed of 130mph, so one could say 125mph is bullet train speed. Now, that was in 1964, and the second model (1985) topped out at 137mph, and the current series (introduced decades ago) are around 180mph -- but again, expectations.
