Gas Turbine & High Speed Diesel

Quoted By:

Since America is lagging so badly behind the rest of the world in HSR, would it make sense to introduce high speed diesel or gas turbine electric locomotives to replace the current generation of freight haulers and commuter lines? It would eliminate the need to electrify the millions of miles of track.

Hell, you can probably get the oil companies to back these.

Here's one forgotten example:

Slow is relative.

Brightline's got a better average speed than just about any other passenger train in the US. Only isolated sections of the Acela (and maybe that one train in Michigan) beat it.

The speed will be even better on the new sections. 125 mph is basically the maximum diesel-electric locomotives can do. Anything higher, and you need to look into gas turbines (the Bombardier JetTrain approach) or electrics (the everyone else approach).
