Having traveled through Europe and Asia on punctual high speed trains, I can say that I would like to see something of the sort in the USA. Forgetting political barriers, our country, IMO, is too large to have high speed rail spanning the width of the country. Instead, I'd like to see an affordable high speed passenger rail system to connect large cities on distances of about a couple hundred miles or less. I'm thinking FLG-PHX-TUS, SAN-LAX-PSP-BFL, AUS-IAH-DAL, etc....and numerous other possibilities. Mostly where there is a lot of automobile traffic between large city centers.

Please?
