Normal's Dream HSR!

We think high speed rail that moves us 100-150 mph is exciting but that's nothing compared to a train that would run 5,000 mph through a proposed tunnel from New York to London!  This project ranks #9 on the top ten list in the article "Most Ambitious Transportation Projects of the 21st Century."  Can you imagine a train going that fast and derailing?  Or hitting something on the track? I prefer the current speed of trains, thank you very much.
