If you go by train from eastcoast to westcoast this will take like 3 days or so ... Americans just fly with airplanes, flying is pretty cheap and saves a lot of time ..

it doesnt exist because of nimbys and greedy fucks, and because theres no company competent enough to build one

USA is biblically huge and is neither densely or evenly populated. Ergo the cost of building a high speed rail network would not be offset by the profits because why would you spend shit loads on money and time traveling from coast to coast when you can just fly in a couple of hours.
