There are currently more than 30 high-speed rail (HSR) services running successfully all over the world. In Europe, Asia (where Japan's HSR has been running for over 50 years) and India, for example, HSR is benefiting the economy, the environment and its inhabitants - and even the Gulf Coast Countries are now embracing a rail revolution. Yet in the USA, the biggest economy in world, HSR has yet to get on track.
