The Real Reasons Why We Can't Have High Speed Trains In America
from TrailMarkers By Expedition Money · host TrailMarkers By Expedition Money
Every few years, Americans ask the same question: Why don’t we have high-speed trains like Japan, France, or China? In this episode, we uncover the surprising technical, historical, and political reasons the U.S. lags behind the rest of the world—despite having over 140,000 miles of rail.We unpack how 19th-century infrastructure, tight curves, and grade crossings cripple speed potential—even on Amtrak’s fastest routes. You’ll hear from top experts as we explore how freight dominance, federal regulations, and a lack of electrification make true bullet trains nearly impossible under current conditions.From California’s $100B high-speed rail project to the limits of the Northeast Corridor, this episode offers a no-BS breakdown of what it would really take to bring 200 mph rail to America—and why simply upgrading existing tracks won’t cut it.▶ HOW TO MARKET FINANCIAL COACHING COURSE: https://geni.us/hpUWZe▶ Get HOW TO MARKET YOUR FINANCIAL COACHING BUSINESS Book Here: https://geni.us/BervU▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ Financial Coaching Book Website: https://expedition.money/be-discovere...▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1----------FOLLOW MY OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:▶ Facebook: / financialcoachesgroup ▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/aAYgyF▶ Instagram: / expedition.money ▶ Twitter: / expeditionmoney ▶ LinkedIn: / expeditionmoney
