Nexis said: Regional Rail & High Speed Rail are to different things :nuts::lol: Click to expand...

It totally is."NJT turns to Royal Canadian Bank for loan," and "NJT turns to Canada for loan" elicit totally different reactions from readers.Other than the technical characteristics of the rolling stock, ROW, capacity, station-spacing (etc), that's always felt like an imaginary distinction to me: the real distinction ought to be between commuter, regional, and inter-city service. HSR is simply a subset of the latter...In this case, the project on the Twin Cities-Rochester corridor sounds more like a regional line that will mostly serve commuters than a true inter-city service; at least until they continue on with the vision of connecting to Chicago, which isn't part of this project, at the moment. For this reason, I thought to put it in the regional thread instead of the HSR thread (which I view as a thread for high-speed, inter-city rail)TL;DR, I'm not:lol:
