I know - it's just a pipe dream right now, if it ever comes to pass it will be just in time for me to board the train for the funerals of friends that will occurring weekly in 20 years - but think of the growth! P-towners could work, shop, eat, play easily in a Real City With Real Stuff. Ok, most Pwello natives will still not venture any farther north than Fountain, but Denverites could zip down for a taste of....um, the biggest pitstop on the Prairie before Taos, N.M. And tumbleweeds.
High-Speed Rail in America - America 2050: "The 56-page study, entitled, 'High-Speed Rail in America,' cites ridership potential as the number one factor in determining if a corridor is suitable for investment, identifies the specific conditions that generate ridership demand, and scores each corridor according to strength in those areas. The top performing corridors in each region determined to have the greatest potential demand for high-speed rail ridership include corridors such as: New York-Washington, DC; Chicago-Milwaukee; Los Angeles-San Diego; Tampa (via Orlando) to Miami; Dallas-Houston; Atlanta-Birmingham; Portland-Seattle; and Denver-Pueblo."
