That’s not even remotely realistic. It takes a freight train about 5-7 days to travel from coast to coast. It takes a team driving a big rig about 3 days to make the same trip. The reason airplanes make it in hours is because they get to fly over that pesky thing thst slows down trains called mountains
China has successfully prototyped a 1000 km/h train, which is faster than commercial aircraft, and is researching the viability of trains moving up to 4000 km/h.
So, you are trusting something moving at near the speed of sound on rails? The first time that derails at speed, ugly won’t even begin to describe the carnage
Thanks for the reply. For the record I’m talking about exaggerating the tactical utility (or even outright lying) of highspeed rail so normal people can benefit, in a shit post at work to distract myself.
One of the biggest reasons it takes a long time to move freight on American railroads is because they are being run by idiots using stupid metrics which causes unneccesary delays.
