I'm just going to post this and let it explain itself
That's about as apples to oranges as you can get. The EU has major population centers pretty evenly spread out across the continent. The US has a whole lotta nothing in that area including basically Germany, France, Austria, Italy, and a bunch of those other small countries.
What is the obsession with high speed rail? What is about it that is so compelling? If it's just "climate change" you can frick off. But I can't think what else might be so great about it to justify the obscene amount of money required for it when air travel is so efficient.

In limited amounts it would be great, it's just the expense would be enormous.
I think the other reality is that we'll never mimic the experience of zipping around Europe, so expectations have to be managed. Your experience of zipping from Vienna to Prague via city centers is just never going to be replicated via high speed rail from Houston to Nashville, for a lot of reasons.
