The title is written weirdly, I’ll reword it longer.
Uzbekistan has several hundred miles of high speed rail, the US has less than a hundred. Even with the new projects being built in the US that will more than quintuple the amount of high speed rail, the US will still have less than Uzbekistan. The US lines are very different speeds, 125, 150, (200), (220), while the Uzbekistan lines are the same speeds 160, (160). The lines in parentheses aren’t built yet.
They call 125 “high speed”?
It’s in mph. 240 kph. Article says: “this article lists all the systems and lines that support speeds over 200 km/h (120 mph) regardless of their statuses of upgraded or newly built.”
