Picture related as an example good placement for rail road.

Yes? Trains are used to go from point A to point B. Seatle - San Francisco railroad would make a much sense.

1. 1000km is the upper limit for HSR.
2. A and B can be 1 to 1000km apart.

In every country. In EU trains (all) barely clock 8%. You can ban rail overnight in EU and no one besides couple autists would never see difference.

Countries where passenger rail really maters are 3rd wold shitholes (literally) like India

That is really good route. You don't need to have many places between it to work. For example high speed trainline in between those places would make a much sense.

Implying that it would work.
Even Tokyo-Hakata/Fukuoka route has modal split of 7% rail and 93% air, although there are Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe and Nagoya between both cities.

Trains should only be for cargo. Poor people take Greyhound bus. Everyone else drives or flies. That's the American way. Europeans are now learning the hard way why Americans hate public transportation. Being locked up with blacks and muslims for hours at a time is a nightmare.

Fuck off communist, America does not need high speed socialism.
The federal government should increase the speed limit on the freeway to at least 100mph, my F-150 can handle that.
Why do you want the hard working American citizen to be a slave to a time table and force him to travel with other people? Because you're a socialist.
We are not in 1800s anymore, rail passenger service isn't profitable anymore. If it were the free market would already provided multiple high speed railways
