Get me dat yellow line! Pop into NO in 2 hours, get hammered en Vieux Carre, nap on the ride back? SOLD.

6 hours to El Paso? And I could finally afford to visit the west coast?!

So many ways to pay for this. Haul for Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS, all of them. Use passenger fees for ongoing maintenance.

This could be the next iteration of the interstate highway system. Ya know, that thing that made America's economy explode by connecting us?

And if we took many passengers, and at least some freight, off the interstates, less maintenance costs.

Keep freight and passenger trains on seperate tracks for the most part otherwise you end up like Canada where passenger trains have to yield (delay) to let the frieght pass.

Yeah, because of this it takes me 8 hours to make a trip to Seattle by train when it takes 5.5 hours by car. That entire trip is in the US, too.
