Plan is north FT Worth, south Dallas, stop between Huntsville and College Station, south Houston. Japan started the bullet train due to small mountainous island. Many use it to access spa vacations as well as business. Japan bullet train infrastructure cost total 16T$. Germany has one HS track from Denmark to Frankfurt A Main. That track is shared with 'milk runs' trains (slow) between small towns. Major vacation travel means. Both countries the majority of population owning auto have just a small commuter type.
All use overhead wires from localized power stations. Plan is for elevated tracks like Seattle skytrain. Track and wire maintenance $ will be exhorbatant. Gotta put in a road for maintenance and outage disables any traffic. No big deal for freight but passengers will get ticked when it stops on the track for hours in 100F or 20F weather. Much less a tornado.
Expect your elec bill to tripple to make the power generating stations that run on GAS.
