I think it’s 22 hours by regular train due to a required stop in DC.
Ok.
But it’s still a 12 hour drive compared to 4.5 by expensive train.
And you have the chance to stop in parts of the country you have never been.
Plus tax money isn’t wasted for the extra 7.5 hours.
Who gives a shite about China’s train

Really construction costs and land rights are the concerns.
If you take that train ticket and back out the gas cost of driving- and factor in that I’m saving 15 hours round trip PLUS able to read a book during the transport time.... well... I get there are some nice perks.
