Super High Speed Trains (over 300 MPH). If the French, Japanese, Chinese can accomplish these trains why are we stuck with Airlines. Forget Keystone Pipeline for jobs, a high speed train system would employ a lot of workers. additionally, after completion unlike Keystone again it would require a lot of workers

It's time we build high speed rail networks - coast to coast and border to border. The technology exists in China Japan & Europe.
