At 220 MPH

California Rail Map/CC BY-SA 3.0
High-speed rail activist and mapmaker, Alfred Twu, envisions a system which connects both rural and urban areas across the country. Twu conceptualized the attached map showing what a cross-country high-speed rail network might look like in the United States. 

Check it out. I could practically see High Speed Rail from my house, here!

His concept stands in bold contrast to the rail network proposal from the Department of Transportation.

Funny, the map looks like it skips Lincoln.

I'm sure that was just an oversight.

If it's a blueprint, it's sort of a game changer of a map.

Severe oversight the design would miss our doorstep, though.

Meh, traffic engineers. What to do with 'em!
