High speed electric trains involve a mature technology certain to become the sustainable system for rapid long distance and high volume passenger and freight transportation in the Americas. Many countries have high speed trains, and the costs are low. Estimating the possible travel times is easy, and travel times are shown for a number of sample trips. For many trips it will be faster, cheaper, and much more comfortable to go by train than by plane or car. Tourists will have many tourist attractions only a short train trip apart. The longest passenger trip shown, from Anchorage in Alaska to Rio Gallegos in southern Argentina, will take about 55 hours.
