WA Democrats ask Buttigieg for $200M to plan B.C.-Seattle-Portland bullet train
www.seattletimes.com
A potential high-speed rail route, of about 350 miles, could bring the nation's fastest trains to the Pacific Northwest.

In hopes to deliver 250 mph rail service by midcentury, the Democrats in Washington’s congressional delegation are asking the federal government for $198 million to help plan a route between Vancouver, B.C.; Seattle; and Portland.

      The highest traffic air route on the continent is Toronto NYC, so if the USA and Canada are going to coordinate for HSR that would be the one to do.
