Well moderately high speed rail can obviously make those trips in the same time or faster, but if you're just going to a small city that isn't on the way to a bigger one, it doesn't make sense to build HSR to it. Slower rail would probably make sense, but you'd want to compare the long-term costs of building rail vs a small airport, as well as the practicality of both given the geography of the area. Also it would be slower than the plane and people want to go fast. :dean-smile: I'd like to see an analysis on this that isn't Wendover 🤢
