It's 1857 miles so, if the train could average 200 MPH it would take a bit over 9 hours. If it was slower, you can do the math. But getting there as fast as possible is not the #1 priority for everybody. Certainly not for me.

Speed has always driven modern architecture, and now, more than ever, people want to get somewhere fast. It's hard enough to get away from the daily grind just to drive up the coast. I feel what you're saying and agree, but I think that "people" in general are idiots and just want their shit fast, cheap, and efficient.
