Express Rail
I like the idea! There is nothing express or high speed about traveling by train today in America. In fact from Michigan (where i live) I can plan on up to 20 hours to the East with long layovers. I see no reason why I couldn't take a short trip to Toledo and express East or West or even South.

Trains should be the cheapest way to travel anywhere. I think people would travel by rail express and at 200 mph! That would be cool! But by todays railway standards it... is... S L O W to travel by train.

I think the privet sector could do this and be competitive. However the Government to help in many ways. For one, the public could get a credit for traveling by Rail or receive free miles to use on the next trip.
