The United States Gulf Coast High Speed Rail Corridor

Описание: Looking at the Federal Railroad Administration's high speed rail Gulf Coast Corridor and what it would be like to build a true HSR line from Houston, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia. The route runs through Beaumont, Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Gulf Port, Biloxi, Mobile, Jackson, Meridian, Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham. It services about 20 million people within 5 states

There is one true high speed feasibility study for part of this route. You can find it here:

I am aware that I mixed up MARTA and METRA at 18:40 . I apologize to any Atlantans or Chicagoans whose sensibilities were exceeded by this mistake.
