Its becoming apparent that the new HSR lines won't be run by Amtrak. CEO of Amtrak made a speech last weekend dissing "true" HSR in favor upgraded conventional rail. Yet, administration officials are still speaking firmly of 220 MPH systems. I surmise from this that the plan is still to have true HSR, only Amtrak won't run it.
Why? It seems to me that 90% of Amtrak's problems are lack of money.
