Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas::The proposed electric railway line could travel 240 miles in under 90 minutes for over 6 million passengers per year.
With the way US rail is “regulated” I would be wary to het on this once it’s running.
The US is actually in the bottom of the middle third as far as derailments and accidents per mile traveled. If you’re looking for an outlier on this, Germany has almost four times the European median for accidents per mile traveled.
