I love travelling by rail. Done it three times in my life. That being said, right now it is more expensive than flying and it takes longer. High speed rail service would only be profitable on very densely travelled routes. Probably only on the east coast of this country. I'm all for it if it could be done profitably, but I don't think there is a huge market for it. Amtrak is enough of a taxpayer drain--I'd be very much against a high-speed money pit.
