California to Florida means it'd most likely go right through Houston, since I-10 is the Florida-California Interstate! Man, it'd be cool to get from Houston to Florida in 2 hours! Maybe I'd even end up visiting CA at some point... SWEET! California to Florida means it’d most likely go right through Houston, since I-10 is the Florida-California Interstate!

Man, it’d be cool to get from Houston to Florida in 2 hours!
Maybe I’d even end up visiting CA at some point…

I travel a lot for tradeshow/conventions/meetings for work and it's a B, sometimes with incompetent (sp?) airline ticket agents, baggage fees, and different security procedures being in place at different airports. If they want it to succeed and be a viable threat to airlines it will but they will most likely get together and complain to Congress about this threat. @shockwave

I'm sure it will have the same rules as air travel or more thorough inspection of luggage/bags, at every stop for new passengers but maybe that's it. If whomever is in charge of this takes an Japan's rail system, i'm sure it will be great. @shockwave

Flying can take a whole day. of course, this all depends on the security on these kinds of trains. I imagine it would be a lot less complicated than air travel, but still more complicated than buying a pass and catching the next stop.

I was impressed by the Korean railways and subways when I was stationed there in 1998-99. I'm from Chicago and we do have a fairly good transportation but i was quite blown away but what i saw over there. I can just imagine what i would do experiencing this in Japan or here if this comes to fruition. I wonder if they will have a stop at Union Station in Chicago??? I hope they do, i'd rather ride the rails then fly but it's sooooooooooo slow compared to flying. I haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing that but i’ll take your word for it Rpad.
