There are a couple of good reasons for the lack of high speed rail in the USA. Firstly, the Americans in general are not great travellers, they mainly stay in and around one locality. When they do travel the distances are so vast that they fly. Why would you (as a business man) sit on a train for at least 6 hours between New York and Chicago when you can fly in 2 hours? The US railways are mainly used for freight.
