Super Speed Train

U.S. high-speed rail advocates have long dreamed of the day when bullet trains would revolutionize transportation. They in fact, have been pushing high-speed rail for years and always fallen short. Unfortunetely we are so far behind. The Japanese have had �Shinkansen� bullet trains since the mid 1960s. France launched Europe�s first high-speed railroad between Paris and Lyon in 1981, the Train � Grande Vitesse. Israel has a new Tel Aviv-to-Jerusalem line in the works, and Saudi Arabia recently let contracts for a European-style supertrain between the western port of Jeddah and the religious centers of Mecca and Medina. What about America?

In the months and years ahead Superspeedtrain.com will endeavor to weight the social economic benefits and environmental impact of these new trains as well as monitor the development, funding, engineering and construction of the projects currently in the design and development stages of the super speed trains.
