I wish the map were higher definition. I see a line from San Antonio (or Austin?) to El Paso, my most traveled route, but nothing in the text description about it. There are also some other lines linking the Texas Triangle which would be great!

Regardless, I hope this plan sees fruition in a reasonable timeframe. Further investments in transit within cities themselves would be welcome too, given a lot of folks may be renting a car at 1 end of a high speed rail trip, but this seems great.

There's a _slightly_ better one on the DOT site (https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/president-biden...), and that site links to a PDF with some more in depth info on the projects (https://railroads.dot.gov/elibrary/fy22-23-FSP-National-rail...).

The LA-Las Vegas route sounds interesting to me. That road tends to get really bad on the weekends, so I think it would serve a need for the bougie set that don't want to deal with traffic.

An LA-Vegas train would also be a boon for senior citizens (which make up a large percentage of gamblers), who often take buses to gambling destinations today.

Here's a decent res of that map

https://www.whitehouse.gov/invest/ has a larger, zoomable map.

It doesn’t show railways, though, but may show railway station investments (I didn’t look hard for them)
