This was a great read, Andy! It's a good reminder too that we often focus on what we see as the benefit of a project (HSR fights climate change, for example), but if we take another perspective (HSR is good for the economy, HSR creates jobs, etc) and market it that way, we can get the same end result with cooperation from a bigger coalition.

A couple of thoughts:

(1) When HSR was introduced in the vicinity of Madrid, Spain, some of the towns in the area became new commuter bases for the Big City - the economic benefit.

(2) Less seriously: if The Trump Train pictured above has a horn to announce its arrival, will it be (a) effective and (b) a Trumpet?
