So close and yet so far from being a decent high-speed rail line.
What can be done to make the Acela and the Northeast Corridor better?

have things worth actually going to along it and finally admit that high speed rail is a total meme because wfh is better than enabling long-distance commuting

I get that Philly and Baltimore are a bit rough but NYC and DC alone should carry this route.
>long-distance commuting
This is a total meme, HSR is a replacement or complement for short-haul flights, and its primary users are business travelers and where the fares are not outrageous leisure travelers, not daily commuters.

>>2067568
who tf is working normally in NYC or DC who needs to visit the other one in person instead of doing that shit over Microsoft Teams
>>
>>2067557
quad-track the entire route and increase top speeds in the slowest areas
>>
If all goes well with Brightline West we should see a proper HSR connecting cities in California plus Las Vegas within the next 2-3 years
