Bullet trains in Japan can reach 200mph, I believe. If Amtrak can exceed that, it may not be safe, but I'll give it a try, just for the thrill.
Whatever happened with that train from Chattt to Hartsfield Atlanta. Know they studied it for years. I am sure the costs would be astonomical just for land purchase, but they probably spent tens of millions on study.
Yep. I roll my eyes when bullet trains are brought up here. We’d have to lay down completely new track to accommodate those speeds safely. No crossings, minimal curves, rigidly maintained track settling and rail consistency.I rode the Bullet trains a lot in Japan. They are very nice - but had limited routes and used tunnels and bridges to straighten things out. Tokyo to Hiroshima was all Bullet train, but if you went say to someplace like Tsuruga on the NW coast you had to change to other lines around Nagoya - much slower and a lot of curves and elevation changes. Those were fun days with my train schedule book and a map with Japanese characters so I could work between the two and schedule my own trips.
Biden heckled before coughing through car-crash drive-in rally in Georgia
For almost 40-seconds, a confused-looking Biden searched for his face covering, rifling through a book and looking on his podium as he said to wife Jill "I can't find my mask", who helped his hunt.
He then told then crowd: "Looking for my mask. I'm in trouble."
After a somewhat lengthy search for his mask, Biden then pulled it out of his pocket before cracking on with his speech.
Many of the points the president made at the rally were similar to those he made the night before during his address to Congress.

They are building a train from Orlando thru Brevard county down to Palm Beach I believe. Not a high speed as far as I know, and the last I heard it won't even stop over here by the Space center. And I'll bet the fares will be ridiculous. The thing is, rental cars are cheap in Florida so it will have to compete with that.Good question. Talk of that just seems to have died. There could be a future for that, but I'd bet the fare wouldn't turn out as favorable as people hope.
The man for the middle class working families is screwing America one day at a time. What a joke.
On Thursday, the day after Biden promised electric vehicles would be made in America, GM moved its $1 billion electric vehicle plant to Mexico.

Ain’t no way he got 81 million votes. He!!, he can’t even get half the regular amount of people to attend his press conferences and only a fourth of the people watched it on TV. But that may be because all those dead voters can’t get cable.81 million anti-Americans voted for it to become a fact. Dictator Biden making Mexico a great place to live & work..
