MODERATORS
We don't even have classifications for 200kmh rail yet and only 2 small sections in Canada are Class 5 (160km/h). The rest is lower class.
Paige points out in the video that you can't just trivially convert curvy conventional rail to high speed. He also points towards, without explicitly saying, that with the projected winding route, trains will spend a lot of time at slower than max conventional speeds.
