What if you could leave Chicago after work and be in Washington in time for a morning meeting? Granted cutting that many hours would be tough and expensive but I believe much time could be saved by reducing the slow sections for poor track and some long slow transits of urban area along the way. Ideal would be a new express track with no grade crossings which the citys should like because then the train won't be tying up traffic, disturbing the peace with horns and bells or sending Darwin candidates to their just reward. Not to mention the smiles on the passengers faces as they swiftly go on their way as urban traffic is jammed up below.
I'm thinking maybe 100 to 125 mph top speed but mostly keeping the train above 80mph.
Any other ideas on how to speed up this route?
