    There's more high speed rail - as in tracks - in that photo then there is in the entire US. Am I right? Doesn't the US have zero miles of high speed rail?

      in typical amerikkkan fashion I think we redefined what constitutes high speed so that some of ours meet that definition, but otherwise yea you right

      🤓 umm acksually that's not high speed rail, just a railyard with high speed trains in it. The actual high speed lines are not in this picture.

      The Northeast Corridor has many sections rated for 125mph, and there are a few sections rated for 150mph. There are no dedicated high-speed lines in the United States.
