RE:"They all ought to be replaced by high speed trains."

Interesting thought. Sure would take a lot of infrastructure.
Wouldn't work unless there was a lot of high speed track connecting a ton of cities.

Here in FL they are petitioning to repeal the bill that passed to make a bullet train between Miami and Orlando.

Seems like a waste of money...

I agree. The Japanese and the Germans are starting to have some success with mag lev. If they pull it off, I think it will revolutionize train travel.
