Climbing aboard my soapbox again for high-speed rail...

Yes, I'm on that high-speed rail bandwagon yet again. This time even the Economist weighs in on high-speed rail as part of its commentary on American infrastructure overall, stating:

"America's rail system is inadequate and in need of repair and expansion." and "America could probably use a new high-speed rail network..."

At least the Infrastructure Bank proposed by the Obama Administration is a start but it will not be enough and, as The New York Times and Huffington Post point out, we are already far, far behind not just the rest of the world but even our own-country compared to 70-plus years ago.
