The destination is not pre-determined and depends on the vehicle you chose.

Everyone start at the geographical center of the United States in Lebanon, Kansas and later statistically most likely find themselves on one of the coasts. Just because of the overall direction of the highways.

20 years is a long time and basically means it will never happen by that fact alone.

The Green Line extension for Boston's MBTA has taken 16 years and still isn't done and has cost several billion dollars. It was discussed even longer than that. New York's subway systems experience the same delays and costs. It's embarrassing.

Free speech, land/property rights, etc. are important, but they are just excuses, as they don't seem to be the things actually slowing down these projects.
Used WorkFlowy for about 7 years, dropped it when I got tired of the lack of feature updates, no end-to-end encryption and only Dropbox for automatic backups.
They ask you to be there early just to be sure, but you don't have to, it's at your own risks.
I've done 30 mins at smaller European airports no problems. Online check-in, only carry-on luggage, 10 minutes for security and you board among the lasts with minutes to spare. Of course you don't have a lot of margins if anything goes wrong, but at airports you know it's definitely doable.
I’ve never been asked to show up early for any domestic flight in the USA, let alone 2.5 hours early. I wonder why that is the case in the airports you’re using.
And it’s not only the city-city times being better. I’d happily spend 1-2 hours more on a train ride because I’ll have a more comfortable seat and I’ll be able to read/work/sleep/… more or less uninterrupted the whole time.

Edit: also, that added comfort is exponentially higher for families who can share a table or even a private compartment.
> The only good thing about trains are the views.

I think train-operators should build more trains with transparent walls cars and lounge-space. It's more fun to travel when you don't have to sit in the same place for many hours. But not sure how much it would add to the cost.
A lot of small things seem 'off' to me in this piece. After having gone through it, it should really say "in the US" because many parts of it around reasoning and attitudes come off as nonsense for someone living in the 'rest of the world'. It even feels like a "this is why things should stay as they are".

> airplane-competitive speeds, which for all but the shortest routes, require > 300 km/h or > 185 mph.

This number feels arbitrary, where did this come from, is it because very very few exist? Looking at the map, > 200 would do just as well and still lend itself to the author's point - some exist but not a huge amount. Even taking that point, high enough speed rail is good enough for inter-city travel, it isn't meant to be an aircraft replacement, it is an alternative form of travel. You wouldn't say that people shouldn't drive between cities, because airplanes are faster. It is an alternative form of travel which allows for mass transit, and in using it, you adjust expectations.

> Comfort and convenience are other important factors, but there aircraft are also quite competitive.

I doubt that, it's possible the author flies exclusively in business/first class, which is giving them a skewed perception. Aircraft are uncomfortable compared to trains.

> Contrast this with aircraft. There are 15,000 airports in the US. Any but the largest aircraft can fly to any of these airports. If I build another airport, I have added 15,000 potential connections to the network. If I build another rail terminal and branch line, at significantly greater cost than an airstrip, I have added only one additional connection to the network.

This is completely wrong. Building an airport doesn't automatically come with the ability to accept any aircraft. There are a lot of restrictions and regulations around what you can and cannot do with an airport and its associated routes. An "untowered paved strip" has a specific kind of usage which does not include commercial routes, which is what the premise of the post is, so this is a disingenuous, unfair, and misleading comparison.

Security theatre in the US means you don’t just walk on the train. You sit in a waiting room with no ambition for capacity and get escorted to the platform by friendly security guards. Quite an experience if you’re not from the US and used to the way trains normally run in the rest of the world.

You would never fly Frankfurt-Paris, because the train is a much faster, more comfortable option.

The Deutsche Bahn has significantly degraded over time, due to insufficient investment, but it's still an incredibly useful system.

If you want to see what's possible with current technology, look at Chinese HSR. Beijing to Shanghai is a 20% longer distance than Berlin to Paris, yet it takes only half as long by train (just over 4 hours vs. 8-9 hours). If such a connection existed between Berlin and Paris, it would be very difficult to justify flying.

OK, but all I see is how companies hiring managers are looking to hire females and minorities - anyone but white men, basically. I read this everywhere, it is ubiquitous how companies seek out women and POC.

Recently, a law was passed in California that corporate board of directors are required to be 50% women. I'm not sure why it was only women, and not equal representative amounts of hispanic, black, asian, middle eastern, Polish, Australian aborigines, gay, trans, atheists, 18-25 year olds, etc. But in any case, it seems like companies can and do screen positively for women and POC.

Is this NOT the case?
In cases where trains and planes are equally fast, trains basically always win on comfort. Much easier boarding, better legroom, longer time of being able to sit down and focus on your work, and so on.

The article takes the premise that HSR should go 320 kph (200mph) and then explains why that is infeasible in many places.

The article says much less about rail at 200kph (125mph). Which might serve to replace airplanes. Especially once CO2 externalities are priced in.

In Spain train stations are centrally located while it adds additional time (in a train usually) to get to the airport in the suburbs. One can arrive at the train a few minutes before departure rather as security is nothing more than a quick scan.

Many people just stick to the very easily identified mushrooms with few or no real look-a-likes or atleast mushrooms who's poisonous look-a-likes aren't that deadly but just make you feel shitty.

Morels are super popular around me because they are very easy to identify and false morels aren't very hard to differentiate once you have seen true morels a couple times. They may look similar to someone who has never seen or picked morels before, but they have very distinct differences once you know what to look for.

At the very least someone should learn what the extremely deadly mushrooms, like death caps or destroying angels, look like so they know what to most definitely avoid. Especially with the delayed reactions which might prevent them from connecting their illness with the mushrooms they ate a day or two before.

A good field guide will specifically call out similar but deadly mushrooms when referencing edible mushrooms and are very clear on the dangers of misidentification and the minimum neccessary identification required. Some mushrooms require a microscrope, but many others just require you to identify certain distinguishing features.

He is not entirely wrong about the capacity limits of the railway stations, though. European cities struggle with inadequate railway capacity all the time.

The main problem is that the original railway stations were laid out in about 1840-1870, for much smaller passenger streams, and today find it hard to cope with modern requirements (a lot of commuters from the suburbia). But given that there is dense city infrastructure all around them, the only way to solve this is to build a new station underground, which is hideously expensive and slow.

Berlin was somewhat "lucky" to have a good place to build their new Hauptbahnhof, a result of the former division of the city. Stuttgart is rebuilding and upgrading its railway network at a great expense, the construction works started in 2010 and are far from finished.

In Prague, there is a lot of discussion what to do with the rail network in the center. You cannot just tear down whole tracts of buildings in a historical city, so yes, we will have to go the Stuttgart route and who knows what the budget (and) time overrun will be.

I commute with a train daily. The lack of capacity is visible in chronic delays, sometimes up to 30 minutes. Fortunately I do not have to be at my office at a precise hour, but going to a medical appointment without wasting too much time is already a bit of a challenge. I even witnessed a 15 minute delay at 4:30 in the morning.

> The travel time between, e.g., Berlin and Paris is something like four to five times as long as by plane.

I think your estimate is quite off here: Train connections from Berlin to Paris take about 8.5 hours. Flights take 1 hour and 50 minutes plus the overhead time for traveling to and from the airport, security and taxiing. Just let's suppose that this will be 2.5 hours in total, which would be very fast. So we are comparing 8.5 hours with 4.5 hours. So, the factor is less than two rather than the four to five you suggested.

As someone who watches and listens to a lot of history and war content, it's quite easy to forget that behind each number there is a human being.

That isn't a scalable or viable solution. The recommendations exist for capacity and planning reasons.

By the same logical extension you can simply show up at a train station 5 minutes before the train, the results of taking a chance are on you.

Indeed. I had to fly between LA and SF while on holiday earlier this year, because the equivalent rail service takes over 11 hours. I’ve done those London-Scotland routes hundreds of times over the years and they are 4.5 hours end-to-end, and as you say this isn’t even on modern high-speed infrastructure.

I get that it may be impractical to introduce a continent-spanning national rail service in the US, but there are a whole bunch of costal corridors where rail is—from a functional standpoint—objectively feasible.
I am French (so strictly SI) and an ex physicist (so I like powers of 10). And I agree with you, especially for the temperature, and generally speaking for anything related to everyday life.

I think however that we must have only one referential because it simply makes things difficult when communicating (similar to currency rates). We should have chosen °F for temperature because they are more optimal (no changes for science, easier in everyday life) but metric for distances and weights.

Distances and weights are often added, which is a problem for non metric units. We all remember the train starting from one city at 13:45 and the other at 9:12 and the time they meet. Super simple in metrics, super hard in train time.

The article seems to be completely littered with factual errors.

1. The author says that HSR projects are about a third below passenger projections everywhere. Everyone who has taken the TGV between Bordeaux and Paris, the ICE between Cologne and Frankfurt and many of the other lines in Europe knows that it is trivially not true. The Bordeaux Paris train is often sold out several times a day.

2. The author says the SFO to LA line comes at $350m/mile which he gives as indication for HSR construction. I don't know about the accuracy for the SFO to LA line, but it's completely off for general HSR. Even the highest estimate here for a double track HSR line is $2.6m/mile here:
https://compassinternational.net/railroad-engineering-constr...

3. The author says that 100,000 passengers daily is the SFO to LAX traffic today. If I look at stats for SFO it has around 3M passengers per month, I assume not all are flying to/from LA so the number can't be right.

4. The whole discussion about interruptions is also weird. Yes if a rail line gets interrupted you probably can't easily route around it. But it's incorrect to say you can always do that in a car, as everyone stuck in a traffic jam can attest to. Also I would like to see some statistics on rail/track interruptions vs road interruptions.

5. The subsidies discussion also seems weird. He acknowledges that roads and airtravel receive subsidies as well, but then dismisses them because road operation cost are covered by the driver. Sure but maintanance is covered by the state again. Most rail companies would be very profitable if they would not have to pay for the network (admittedly they often don't want to let go of that control, because it allows them to keep competition put)

I don't think I can take any argument so littered with factual errors seriously.
