A Beautiful Vision Of An American High-Speed Rail Map 

Imagine if the country was linked by a network of 220-mile-per-hour trains.

Want now. But, as they note, “Given the difficulties in building just a tiny part of this system (the chunk of the Yellow Line from L.A. to San Francisco), we’re so amazingly far away from this happening.”

Please, Mr Obama, this is a great way to stimulate the economy and counter global warming.
