The African continent already has more “true” high speed rail miles than the USA in Morocco and is planning a continent-wide network. https://northeastmaglev.com/2023/04/06/the-status-of-high-speed-rail-africa/ https://northeastmaglev.com/2023/04/06/the-status-of-high-sp... We can be cynical and say this project is falling behind but it’s embarrassing that the richest country in the world has no such infrastructure plan and no presently operating high speed train that exceeds 150 mph. You’d think that some of the larger metro areas would be connected with such a service in the world’s wealthiest nation. America’s largest metro area is in a concentrated urban area that is continuously developed from Massachusetts to Washington DC with no rural area in between. But the best you get there is a train service that sometimes reaches 150 mph and only saves a sliver of time compared to a conventional train. The second most wealthy nation has more high speed rail miles than the rest of the world combined. You’d think that the wealthiest country would at least be in the top 10 list.
