Proposed High Speed Rail lines
Proposed High Speed Rail lines plans in the USA started in 1965 with the High-Speed Ground Transportation Act. The Metroliner that runs between Boston and Washington DC was the first high speed service. High-speed rail is usually defined as over 110 miles per hour. Here is a list of some future plans.
