New 315mph train in Japan

Frfr, if smaller states implemented this within their borders it would be a start. Having grown up in Maryland, it makes sense to me for MARC trains to convert completely to bullet trains. You’d be able to develop other parts of the state outside of the I-95 corridor which would create more housing, jobs, and alleviate pressure from the population centers in the Baltimore-Washington metro area.

Other small states could do this, even larger states like Cali and Texas would benefit.

I took the rail from the Seattle airport all the way to downtown Seattle and it's so efficient

Not sitting in traffic or waiting for a cab beautiful

How many bullet train accidents have ever happened since their introduction?

On 3 June 1998, part of an ICE 1 train on the Hannover–Hamburg railway near Eschede in Lower Saxony, Germany derailed and crashed into an overpass that crossed the railroad, which then collapsed onto the train. 101 people were killed and at least 88 were injured, making it the second-deadliest railway disaster in German history after the 1939 Genthin rail disaster, and the world's worst ever high-speed rail disaster.
