it was obviously an exaggeration but u would have to be completely brain dead to think freight trains in the amerikkka of all places is in any way representative of the kinds of speed high speed rail can go. Its called highspeed rail for a fucking reason, and even if the speeds where even comparable, guess what highspeed rail wont stop in the middle of the tracks in random places to change crews nor will it get stuck behind massive trains as they unload cargo because bypasses were built for normal train lengths an amerikkkan freight train companies have too much brain damage in their c suites to use normal length trains and they are too broke due to the the aforementioned brain damage to afford to change the bypass.
