Not high-speed

References to this system as "high-speed" have been removed by Tompw and myself. High-speed rail is defined as being at least 200 kph. Period. The definition in the United States is not different...

As I am a budding American transportation engineer, I have dug out my general Transportation textbook, Transportation Engineering & Planning, by C.S. Papacostas and P.D. Prevedouros. This, I would like to add, is a book for and by the American transportation industry. On page 253, it states, just as you will find anywhere else:

High-speed rail is defined as passenger rail transportation service with operating speeds of at least 200 km/h.

I will be adding this citation wherever relevant on Wikipedia, and if you like, I can dig out even more American transportation textbooks all saying the exact same thing. --Shadowlink1014 14:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is high-speed rail: According to the Federal Railroad Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, "High Speed Rail, sometimes called High Speed Ground Transportation, refers to a series of technologies involving trains traveling at top speeds of 90 to 300mph." [1] The proposed New York high-speed rail, Midwest Regional Rail Initiative, and Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor are also high-speed rail systems operating at 110 mph (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Trains#What IS high-speed rail?). –Crashintome4196 01:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see High-speed rail (the version BEFORE you edited it). The working definition on Wikipedia, and among pretty much everybody else, is 200 kph. The source you have provided flys in the face of every other source I can find. I guess I'm just going to have to dig out more textbooks. I should also note that there are now at least four users that agree that this is not high-speed rail, against one. I am requesting administrator arbitration. --Shadowlink1014 10:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template rail Legend

(Jordan S. Wilson (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)) Is there a template for the Chicago Hub that we can create?[reply]

St. Louis to Chicago Route

I see the St. Louis-to-Chicago corridor will actually run from Alton, Illinois, to Dwight, Illinois and top out at a speed of only 110 mph. [2] This fact should be incorporated into the article somewhere.--NeantHumain (talk) 03:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
