It is a shame that we will probably never see this:

The goal of the proposed high speed rail segments are to give access to high population areas to replace short-trip flights. This will have multiple benefits. If implemented, you will actually be able to get to your destination in equal or less time than a flight and at equal or less cost. This will also free up airports to focus on longer range travel. Less air traffic means less delays over the entire system, meaning even if you can't be bothered to use the train in lieu of the plane, you'll still see benefits.
