I tried to make it fairly realistic. Obviously I would like HSR absolutely everywhere, but a line through middle of nowhere Montana probably would not see much ridership and would come at extreme cost (especially in the mountains).

Id love to have a high speed rail of not just Calgary and Edmonton, but also Fort McMurray.

Considering the number of f150's that cruise up there from Edmonton at 140km/h it would probably be as much of an environmental improvement as the Edmonton-calgary Line

Yeah, would be a hell of a lot safer too. Still so many suicide passes north of edmonton before the twinned highway after grassland.
