The China HSR line across Siberia, Bering Sea, Alaska, British Columbia is a big ambition to dream to. To bad the US hasn’t had anything like this really since the space race to the moon.
I’m sure Canada can’t wait to be the Poland of the 21st century
IMHO it’s silly. Maybe a freight line would make sense, but HSR would be best utilized moving people between cities within a few hours of each other – the kind of trips where flights roads (for bus or car) are impractical.
I agree, but they could built a freight line and leave space for a high speed line, so when travel by air ever comes to costly, there could be an alternative. It is just a dream to inspire though.
