I'd personally love a high speed rail train. I enjoy flying (but not airports) Yet there is something that's always appealing to me with a train. What I don't get is why a plane ticket for 1000 miles is 30 bucks and a train ticket for 1000 miles is 300 bucks.
Have you read the history of Amtrak?
It's the first thing that came to mine to answer your question.
I think it also answers mine of the price difference between flying/train riding long distances.
I think the real question should be how economically viable a venture like this would be. Remember Concorde?
