I don't think the commenter meant this route was especially unfeasible. I think they were referring to the fact that the track record (no pun intended) of high speed rail projects in the U.S. is mixed to terrible.

The LA-Vegas line is like 20% more track, but it has some other benefits that IMO will make construction easier (fewer legal challenges, right of way in or along the freeway for most of its length, singletracked)
