Obama Unveils High-Speed Rail Plan - NYTimes.com

High speed rails are going to fundamentally change transportation in America. And I can’t WAIT. Most excited to ride the two Texas lines, the DC->Florida line, and of course, the NorCal->SoCal line.

“The government has identified 10 corridors of 100 to 600 miles in length with greatest promise for high-speed development.

They are: a northern New England line; an Empire line running east to west in New York State; a Keystone corridor running laterally through Pennsylvania; a southeast network connecting the District of Columbia to Florida and the Gulf Coast; a Gulf Coast line extending from eastern Texas to western Alabama; a corridor in central and southern Florida; a Texas-to-Oklahoma line; a California corridor where voters have already approved a line that will allow travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles in two and a half hours; and a corridor in the Pacific Northwest.”
