Seven Minute Primer on the future of US high-speed rail program

Not much new here if you follow this stuff, but helpful for someone getting up to speed.
As an aside, notice how little mention is made of Amtrak. Surprise, surprise. Also, very little talk of how small the current $8 billion is in relation to what would need to be spent by 2015 or 2020, given the scope of the plans Lafsky details.
