I have 1 year to left to start new life in DC due college, that's not far away from NYC and I'm forward to see high speed rail.
Yes, it's in France...they also have service between France to UK and France to Germany (TGV POS)

The Amtrak Aleca isn't really THAT fast because of the old infrastructure in Northeast. If they had dedicated high speed rail line then it would be much faster and seperated from the traffic. It only goes up to 150 mph for about 20 minutes between RI to Massachuetts, I think. Most of the time it goes up to 100-120 mph.
