High speed cattle cars.

Trains are the most logical means of transportation in India and China. We really need to pray they don't take up automobiles big time like in the States because if they do, we are in for a lot of trouble.

There are 62 million registered automobiles in China, by 2020 the figure is likely to rise to 200 million. What the impact could be on gas prices is best imagined.(We haven't talked about India yet....)

Trains in China and India and Europe make sense as there are dense networks and people live in large concentrated cities. it makes sense along the East Coast and in southern California and perhaps in the Texas corridor, but it makes little to no sense in the rest of the country. however, that’s not a reason to dismiss them for other countries or other regions
