Obama's High Speed Rail Strategy: What Will Happen When the Steel Meets the Track?

I have been a proponent of HSR for a long time. I have commuted to NYC from CT and the ride would be a lot more pleasant if only the tracks did not shake and bump the hell out of you. I think that the tracks and rights of way are the real challenge. As far as equipment is concerned doesn't GE make the best train engines? I would suggest that the steel suppliers will be big winners in the infrastructure build out. Steel and concrete are essential for almost all infrastructure.
