High-speed Rail from New York to Chicago should be the top priority of rail funding once the current round of amtrak expansion finishes and California High-speed Rail opens
Also Electrification and speed increases of DC to Richmond would be a high priority
Intermediate stops on the Chicago to NYC HSR would probably be Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Toledo and maybe South Bend
This would alignment would hit most major cities between the 2 and allow for connections to Toronto and Detroit via Buffalo and Toledo respectively
Toronto-Buffalo-NYC would likely get built as a branch line that would use a high speed alignment in Canada between Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, London and Windsor /Detroit
