AmeriStarRail has proposed a high-speed train—Transcontinental Chief—to connect Los Angeles and New York in under 72 hours. Partnering with Amtrak, the plan includes stops in cities like Chicago, Kansas City, and the Grand Canyon. With an eye on sustainability and convenience, the service aims to launch by May 2026. Despite logistical hurdles, the project could revolutionize U.S. travel, offering a greener, faster alternative to cross-country flights or road trips.
