Can we drop the high-speed from this? I'm sorry, but 79mph is nowhere near high speed. Not even close. — lensovet– talk – 04:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125 mph). According to UIC, a "high-speed train" in the European Union is a train that runs at over 250 km/h on dedicated tracks, or over 200 km/h on upgraded conventional tracks.
High-speed rail is defined as passenger rail transportation service with operating speeds of at least 200 km/h.
I will also chime in to say that 110mph is not high speed rail. It makes me sad that they're not actually going for true high speed. Imagine something just like the TGV following I-71 between Cleveland and Cincinnati that travelled at 320 km/h (200 mph). You would be able to drive your car directly onto the train so you would have transportation once you got to your destination. Nobody is going to travel by train when you don't have that convenience and time saving factor. But I digress.-- Analogue Kid 15:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
According to the Federal Railroad Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, "High Speed Rail, sometimes called High Speed Ground Transportation, refers to a series of technologies involving trains traveling at top speeds of 90 to 300mph." [2] The proposed New York high-speed rail, Midwest Regional Rail Initiative, and Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor are also high-speed rail systems operating at 110 mph (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Trains#What IS high-speed rail?).

There's a rather cheesy video about the project available, but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for the wiki entry. It's originally from ODOT/The Ohio Rail Commission, but I can only currently find it from All Aboard Ohio. If people think it appropriate, maybe it could be added via a link.
