Today is the first of what will be a series of four weekly columns by Edward Glasser in the New York Times looking at the economic costs and benefits of high-speed rail; it looks like it may be a cogent analysis, neither rah-rah pro-rail nor ridiculous anti-rail arguments, given the tone of the first column, but since this is mostly an introduction we'll have to wait and see next week how the more detailed analysis goes. Let's hope he provides some useful information without too much spin! Is High-Speed Rail a Good Public Investment?
