I also would like to remind everyone that the METRA electric district powers their EMU commuter trains with 1500 VDC, not several thousand volts AC that most HSR trains require.

It's difficult to get upset with public comments falsely responding to poorly written news articles.
The CrossRail calls for both express commuter and high speed. Not sure what the article says though.

I could see that, but there's only 2 tracks so I would anticipate there would be some conflict with the SSL trains.
