Very Small Array has a map of the 50 most populated city in the US and the travel times between them, if we had a national rail line of high speed (149 mph) trains. That speed is the fastest trains go in our country (I assume that’s on Amtrak’s Acela) but the slowest high speed trains go in Belgium, Taiwan and South Korea.

  • Hartford, CT to New York, NY: 49 minutes (currently 2hr 44min)
  • Orlando, FL to Miami FL: 1hr 35min (currently 6hr 39min)
  • Seattle, WA to Los Angeles, CA: 8hr 3min (currently 35hr 15min)
