For those quoting Europe and Japan, keep in mind our train will be subject to a limit of 200 km/h- simply due to the gaps in the tracks for expansion and contraction.

But the one "pro" arguement I heard the other day made a lot of sense; it will be cheaper to build this line than to widen highway 2.
