The subject of a high-speed rail system for Canada has popped up in another thread. I think it started during a discussion of current airport security issues.
It's an interesting thought. Other parts of the world have had good and safe high-speed rail systems for a long time. The one in Japan is called the "Shinkansen" which means "New Main Line", but we refer to it as the bullet train. It started in 1964 during the Tokyo Olympics and has never had a fatal accident.
Do you think Canada should start to consider establishing a service like this? The benefits would be many, and of course, so would the challenges...
