        Building a high speed network makes even more sense if you've got a big-ass country to get around in. (n/t) - Tony - 2/25/2004 9:07:34 PM
        
        Relatively low population density makes high speed trains unviable in the US... - Larry J - 2/25/2004 11:00:12 PM

        Which are great if you got over 200 miles to go. Otherwise, not worth the hassle.... (n/t) - Tony - 2/25/2004 10:18:59 PM
        
        Considering the aforementioned hassle, I'd bet that threshold number is higher than 200 miles. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 2/26/2004 12:17:14 AM
