If you're trying to prove it makes economic sense, no way. The ridership would never pay even a small fraction of the cost of that route.

Actually the fast trains in Europe and Japan do make money. Even the faster trains in the US get close to break even. Its the slower trains that in part feed the faster trains that don't make money.

But you see................the Japanese and the Euros are okay with that because its for the common good. Its the narcissistic capitalists who only care about profit.
