Default Re: High Speed Trains: The Way Of The Future

About ten years ago the Pacific Northwest tried to institute the Talgo Train. It was a hi-speed, hi-tech sleek train that they spent alot of money to promote. I don't think it even got to run on a schedule, the plug was pulled because it was going to be too expensive. In this era of the money we have poured into Iraq and the proposed stock market bail-out the train would probably cost relative chump-change. Is it governmental code for money well spent=too expensive?
