The engineering side is probably not completely trivial, but be that as it may. Nothing that you've said contradicts the point that SNCF were able to go to Morocco and build a comparable HSR system that's been in revenue service for 5+ years now, while the US has failed to build anything due to political dysfunction.
- jeffbee 2y agoBut that's exactly my point. The skill needed to build hsr in America is navigating the layers of the federal system and avoiding the roadblocks of common law. SNCF doesn't have this skill. Literally any civil engineering firm can build a railroad through a desert under a totalitarian regime.
