CityNerd | The 10 Key Stations for High Speed Rail in the USA, Mexico, and Canada: the Most Important Cities @CityNerd | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This week we look at some of the busiest train stations in the world as we continue to press the question of whether the US will ever have high speed rail (outside the debatably high-speed Acela corridor). Since our last survey of American bullet train prospects, we have now added the geographies to the north and the south -- so we can legitimately ask, will Canada ever have high speed rail? And we'll dig into Mexico's current plans, which may put it ahead of Canada in the race -- and the US, for that matter.
We hit all the high speed rail hotspots on the continent, including California High Speed Rail, the Texas Central Railway, Brightline West, the North Atlantic Rail effort, Mexico City to Queretaro, and promising corridors and networks in and around Chicago, Atlanta, and Seattle.
Join us as we expand our vision to look at bullet train possibilities all over the continent.
