High Speed Rail in the USA

[BleAivano]

I live in the USA, so let me chip in. First of all, to have high speed rail, you need to have a few big cities that are close
enough to each other in order to make a case for the high speed rail transport

I know about the Acela already but would a proper HSR between Atlanta-Charlotte-Raleigh-Washington D.C-Philadelphia-NYC-Boston work?
That is some 40+ million poeple living along that route in those cities/Metro areas.
