* *Click to read important note: (Metro/rapid transit, 1 stations) Note: Stations marked by * are not currently existing, so locations are either a guess or a wish. There are definitely some cities and routes that won't be served/upgraded to HSR, (looking at you, Denver) because they are too far apart from other cities and/or don't make a good path between cities of a decent size. All of this is clearly not realistic anytime soon. I imagine most of this would be on German-style updated lines, not necessarily new built lines. I see 250 km/h in straightaways, with less in curves and difficult areas. I realize there is no way possible the US has the budget for Rocky Mountain or Appalachian tunnels à la Gotthard. Most of these routes are not intended to be traveled over their entire length. In all honesty, trains, even HSR, only make sense to a certain distance, often figured ˜500-600 mi. These HSR routes give the option for those who want it, as well as serve many routes on the larger routes they pass. (EX: DC-Dallas is long. Memphis-Nashville is not, and would be greatly served by HSR.) I imagine some trains would only be scheduled over part of the entire route, such as Chicago-Detroit on the International. Services, like those of current Amtrak, would probably vary widely. Some may be 20+ a day, while others may down to be 3-5 tpd or so. I do not picture any of the daily services, as once again, these should really focus more on short-haul passengers. Station stopping has to be spaced out in order to have a proper HSR network, so not all currently served stations will be served. (Think the Acela: A good part of what makes it go faster is the fact that it doesn't stop everywhere the NER does.)
