There's more high speed rail - as in tracks - in that photo then there is in the entire US. Am I right? Doesn't the US have zero miles of high speed rail?
in typical amerikkkan fashion I think we redefined what constitutes high speed so that some of ours meet that definition, but otherwise yea you right
π€ umm acksually that's not high speed rail, just a railyard with high speed trains in it. The actual high speed lines are not in this picture.
The Northeast Corridor has many sections rated for 125mph, and there are a few sections rated for 150mph. There are no dedicated high-speed lines in the United States.
But at what cost
Tag this please. Thatβs beautiful
I don't think that's a safe following distance for any train, let alone a high speed one.
spoiler
Yes I know that's not how railyards work.
china bad
Yo someone please explain to my dumb ass how passengers can embark/disembark these trains even though they are squished together so close 
Edit: Also which train station is this does anybody know?
When a train needs to take on or drop off passengers it stops at a platform:
This is a storage and maintenance yard. Passengers donβt come here.
Ah! Well, nevertheless!
