I basically agree. Commuter train is a different animal as it’s an everyday thing and not much more than an hour. High speed rail across the USA doesn’t make a lot of sense because of the enormous distances involved. Just makes more sense to get on a plane. Maybe a BOS-NY-WASH route would work. I’m not sure if the Accela can be considered high speed rail. It doesn’t seem to move much faster than the commuter train I’m on.

Agree too. I’ve used the commuter train between Trenton, NJ and NY during rush hour and thought it was very efficient. Short distances okay. High speed rail over long distances doesn’t make sense as one would fly on a plane.
