Happy 250th birthday to America! Here’s my idea of what a 110-220 mph electrified high speed rail network could look like by America’s 300th birthday.

Different speeds make sense for different routes. Some routes like Washingon-New York arguably make sense for 220 mph high speed rail, while others make more sense for 110 mph rail. 

Also some routes could be extended using conventional rail such as the route Atlanta and Chattanooga being extended to Knoxville or the route between Seattle and Portland being extended to Eugene. In addition new Amtrak routes, including new Amtrak long distance routes could be added as well.
