Shoshana 🏳️‍⚧️The sad thing about this map is that it's wrong. The sections in yellow in the US have a top speed of 150 MPH (241 km/h) so the US should be shown with no high speed rail on this map 😭<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Train</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/HighSpeedRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HighSpeedRail</a>

Mark IngallsAddendum: Obviously <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/HighSpeedRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HighSpeedRail</a> needs to be a dedicated rail line. I think this could be reasonably built primarily on the I-5/I-205/BC 99 right-of-way (perhaps elevated above the median).There would be a few slow areas (near Bellingham and Kalama for example), but I think the savings in cost, time of land acquisition, and NIMBY struggle (there will still be NIMBYs, just fewer) makes this a worthwhile compromise.4/4<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/HSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HSR</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Vancouver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vancouver</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#train</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transit</a>

Mark IngallsIn 2023, 625,692 passengers flew the SEA-YVR route with 143,129 on the PDX-YVR.
