Re: Max speed of this line will only be 250kph

I'm sure that there are plenty of city pairs in the U.S. that would be happy to be connected by passenger rail that reached a top speed of 250 km/h (about 150 mph).

But, it's not just the top speed. Having a dedicated passenger line that gets the faster trains onto their own tracks, away from the congestion on existing tracks, makes a lot of difference, too.

And as the images in the above video indicate, these direct passenger lines are, in a word, more direct, bypassing the twists and turns required by the landscape with tunnels and bridges.
