I envy mainland Europe with its rail system. I wish my region of Canada would build a rail system. What we have is old and mainly was for transporting ore, steel, grain. Even just regular rail not even high speed any speed is preferable in a snowstorm.
My region is small and would be perfect for a light rail system mainly because it's got few people scattered over a wide area with no direct route.
Bombardier even makes rail cars for many countries so it's a home-grown resource we could use.
I think south eastern Canada and north eastern US could have a great interconnected rail system. I'm only 800 km (~500 miles) from Boston but I may as well be on the dark side of the moon.
Like NY city before its subway system people were crowded in the city but when rail was expanded people could live in the suburbs and work in the city. I think a US and Canadian rail system would open up travel and trade on the eastern coasts of each country. Day trips to cities you'd never even think of visiting now or not even capable doing so now in a day.
