I wonder what Wyoming and South Dakota did to piss off Obama.

Actually, whoops, that's Portland, Maine at the terminus. Houston-Portland, Maine and Houston-Montreal, but not Houston-Austin/San Antonio.

I know this isn't any kind of real plan yet, but I love how Houston is connected to Montreal and Boston with high speed rail, yet it's not connected to Austin/San Antonio/Dallas, except by current crap-rail. Also, they ran a high speed line down the entire eastern seaboard, including Jacksonville, FL, but they can't bother to connect down to the high speed area of Orlando/Tampa/Miami?

Ha ha, funny about the Simpsons. That was a great episode. On topic, it would be one wet dream to be able to hop on a train and be @ a MLB game in Houston or Dallas in that short amount of time and not have to drive. Drink and let Monorail do the driving!

Q: Is there a chance the track could bend?!

Gosh I'm so glad the confirmation came through I thought maybe I'd have to fiddle around with cookies! Anyway, thank you for posting this on Earth Day. Best wishes
