@pallenberg I know it‘s a joke post, but there is one „real“ high speed line in the US with the Acela connection between Washington, D.C. and Boston (although only part of it is really high speed and the high speed is only 250 km/h): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acela

“The average speed over the entire route is 70.3 mph (113 km/h). … Amtrak has identified 224 bridges along Acela's route that are beyond their design life.”
