I recently read a comment on Reddit that went into some of the pitfalls a HSR would have. http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/17nvfk/i_really_hope_this_idea_doesnt_fall_through_like/c87fv0c http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/17nvfk/i_really_hope_t... Theres quite a bit of back and forth, but the main conclusion is that the market for HSR won't support one. It seems in most cases people would rather fly, or the distance is short enough that a HSR doesn't make any sense.
