High Speed Trains?

I'll be honest, when I saw this headline on CNN last week, my heart almost skipped a beat from excitement.

Obama unveils high-speed passenger rail plan

Kay and I were won over to the high-speed rail mentality from our time in Europe. It was efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly... and fun! When we voted on the California ballot proposition last November to fund a high-speed train from Anaheim to Sacramento, we were hopeful and definitely in support (as apparently were the majority of Californians), but we figure it was years before anything began to happen on a national level. All in all, any president who pushes for high-speed rail mass public transit has our support.

Here's Kay enjoying the experience of travel on a high-speed train in Germany. (You can tell it's fast because everything is blurry outside the window.) :)
