Eminent not Imminent Never said it was easy just pointing out it used every day in this country to build highways. How much does that cost? The rail you refer to in the northeast was electrified from New Haven to Boston and then welded rail was implemented. Most of the restrictions on speed are because of the many old bridges the trains cross. The Acela actually handles curves quite nicely. Don't forget those same socialist are out building the interstate highway system. More union thug jobs.
