Must read special section on high speed rail from Philadelphia Inquirer
All this week, the Philadelphia Inquirer is running a special section called Fast Track: Is America Ready for high-speed rail?
There are too many good things to say about this section already, and I can't wait to see what the next three days will bring.
I particularly like the graphic that explains what how much spending $10 billion a year on high speed rail really is compared to other things we buy through the federal government.
Please check out this section and take your time with it. I hope the paper makes lots of money from page views from around the world on this high speed rail section to inspire more reporting from on the topic.

The politics is what hampers HSR so much. I'm in California, and all the hand-wringing along sections of the route is frustrating to hear about. It's amazing to see how much damage NIMBY's can do along a course, especially when a big project gets watered down to an inferior product when years later people realize "We could have done better". Instead, we have a NIMBY dictated course that doesn't (necessarily) get it done.
Has anyone been following the increasing amount of scrutiny SNCF has faced over its Holocaust ties? ABC News did a fantastic piece a few weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmvYJCYvxvA
