    This is unfortunately why this will never happen. It’s 4x as long as flying and requires 1000x the infrastructure to maintain. High speed rail makes sense for regional connections, but I remain skeptical that it’s viable for this kind of travel.

      I mean, any network is just a set of regional connections. Sure maybe no one takes NYC - LA line, but if people are taking the NYC to Chicago and LA to Dallas and Dallas To Chicago there’s no reason not to join them up.
