When we were in England we took a high speed rail from Liverpool to London on a train that went 125 mile per hour.

We also took the Chunnel train from London to Paris. That train goes 200 mph.

Why don't we have rail service like that in this country. I'd bet a lot more people would use trains if they went that fast.

New York to Orlando is approximately 1100 miles. A 200mph train would get you here in 5-1/2 hours. Orlando to Miami would take a little over an hour.
