General Discussion - Passenger Rail: Commuter, High-Speed, Intercity (non-Amtrak) and Light
General discussion of passenger rail proposals and systems not otherwise covered in the specific forums in this category, including discussion about high speed passenger rail proposals and technology. U.S. HSR proposals where the operator has been definitively identified as Amtrak should be discussed in the Amtrak forum. All other proposals meeting the definition of "high speed rail" as noted below, whether U.S. or international should be discussed here. Proposals not meeting the definition of "high speed rail" should be discussed in the forum of the appropriate operator or region.

There is no worldwide definition of high speed rail, but there are definitions by region: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed ... speed_rail . The US definition given by the Federal Railroad Administration is 110MPH. As noted by Wikipedia, a definitve aspect of HSR elsewhere is continuous welded rail and speeds of 200kph/120mph.
