I see. I just read a few sections of a 2015 report for the Amtrak alternatives. Speeds up to 220 mph if they go with that alternative and electrify it. Would be pretty exciting.
But I guess that requires purchasing ROW on thousands of parcels of land between Suwanee and Athens. How does purchasing 100ft wide parcels of land in mostly rural areas usually work?
