"that so called high speed rail does DC to boston in 6 1/2 hours, that's 68 miles an hour, that ain't high speed. "

It isn't the only one. However, it is faster than you can go by car.

And it is faster than the other rail available in this country.

"Saturated the market my ass."

What is the profitability of that line?

Like I said. Basic economics. Something you clearly don't understand.

You're right.....sort of. Its high speed for the US but not by EU standards. To them, hi speed rail is 155 mph.
