Obtaining right of way will then be able to begin

That's my favorite part of this.

The only HSR that actually makes any sense is BOS-WAS. The rest of it is sh*t - who wants to go to Tampa OR Orlando, anyway? And after the Canary Islands tsunami, there won't even BE a Florida.

So, for 220 mph you need a new, completely straight ROW that will rip the heart out of Harrison and Purchase, NY, Greenwich, New Caanan, and Darien, CT.

Unless all the stockbrokers and money fixers in NY are in prison by then, there is NO FUC*ING WAY that will ever happen. Not in a million years.

This whole thing is so stupid, it makes my head hurt.

No kidding? Wow, now I'm even more in favor of building high-speed rails!

Rip away!
