And the US could still build such a thing, except for all the
wasteful projects such as the "bullet train," for example:

It would save a few hours over driving on a trip from LA to SF
but won't go from San Diego to Phoenix. If you're in THAT much
of a hurry, you can fly, at a cost to the environment, but not
your conscience, if you are a hypocritical greenie.



Travelling by high speed train is a much more pleasant
experience than flying or driving.

Pity the US isn't capable of building any high speed trains, only
dumping billions into welfare projects for unions that will never be
completed, and nobody will ride if they are.

Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals.

You live in crappy countries the size of Texas at best, MAYBE trains make sense. But from a cost point of view, they do not and haven't since the advent of the large transport truck and jet airliner.
