I tried to make it fairly realistic. Obviously I would like HSR absolutely everywhere, but a line through middle of nowhere Montana probably would not see much ridership and would come at extreme cost (especially in the mountains).

I think you would need an east-west line further north - perhaps continue west from Omaha or Denver - to make east coast to west coast travel practical.

Maybe Seattle->Spokane, Spokane->Boise->SLC->Denver, Spokane->Minneapolis.

I think there also needs to be more in Canada, Vancouver->Calgary->Winnipeg->Toronto.

I was just thinking this too, having to go all the way to LA from Washington before the rest of the country is weird, and anyone who lives in the west is screwed over by this map.
