Currently takes 6 hours by airplane. I don't see a bullet train beating that.

OTOH, there are a number of < 1500 km routes that could easily be served by train, if we didn't have some of the worst train service in the world. Bullet trains would be nice, but require new grading in many cases. I too would be happy just to get our old train network back.

I was thinking more like Philadelphia to Charlotte.
