    Default Why does the United States of America Not Have A High Speed Rail

    I have been looking to do a California to the Midwest train ride and all the info I get is that the trains are Slower here than any other developed Country .

    I found this CNBC report on high speed rail on Youtube and was shown This Year 2019

    I live in One of the Hottest Vacation destination towns in the World , Monterey,California https://www.monterey.org/

    and Amtrak doesn't even have a train station here . They did up to 1972 when Amtrak discontinued service and since then you have to take a Amtrak Bus to Salinas ,California which is 20+ miles away

    In 1986 here in the central coast the Cities of : Seaside, Marina , Monterey, and Pacific Grove Tore Up the Tracks that was for 1st the Del Monte Hotel then the Cannery's for the Sardines for a Rec Trail ( Hiking and Biking ) oh well ( I got to walk the Rails in 1984 at Cannery Row ).
