This transition promises faster travel, environmental benefits, economic growth, and improved connectivity.

While challenges lie ahead, careful planning and raising public awareness can ensure that High-Speed Rail becomes a driving force in transforming railways in India.

The Reason Roundtable

Florida vs. California

Putting a phaser on some darksynths got me thinking about high speed rail, and bemoaning the fact that we can't get our own system in North America when Europe and Asia have managed to do so.  This track has everything...diva vocals, people speaking French, chimes, breakbeats, people speaking Japanese, rave stabs, crispy hats, pounding kicks and the best Amtrak conductor in the world.
