euanpc asked:
What is a higher speed rail? Does it still work as a normal train thingy or does it use some more of the hsr stuff like bullet trains or maglevs?
amtrak-official answered:
It functions like a normal train, it is just going at speeds between 90 mph and 125 mph
The Cascade corridor should be one of those there is so much demand for Portland-Seattle Vancouver and 3 hours to Portland is ridiculous that should be no more than 2 hours 30 minutes at most
Cascades is rather likely in my opinion to receive funds for improvements laster this week fromt he Corridor ID program
