Video: Cascadia HSR
by Nathan Dickey from Seattle Transit Blog on (#6MSM1)
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) recently announced grant funding for planning and development of high speed rail (HSR) in several corridors across the USA. Lucid Stew, a YouTube channel dedicated to HSR in the USA, is doing a series of videos on the these corridors. Their most recent video (19:15) was on the Cascade corridor, from Eugene, Oregon, to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Back in 2017, the Blog did a four-part series on the technical challenges of HSR, identifying many of the same issues discussed in this video.
Until the several tens of billions of dollars are identified to build true" HSR across Cascadia, incremental improvements to Amtrak Cascades could do the trick.
