Here in my part of Illinois we have Lincoln Service trains several times a day from Chicago to St. Louis.
My only experience with HSR was at the 2009 Gathering in Boston when we went from Boston to Providence. It was nice, but I like looking out the window and watching the world go by. In the Acela the scenery was dizzying as it flew past and experienced riders rarely looked out the window.
When the HSR is completed, will we still have the choice of using either the Lincoln Service trains or the high speed trains? I would think the ticket price would skyrocket with HSR.
