Video isn't even a real HSR train. ie: 200Kmh plus
Real HSR track beds that support 200, 250, 300+ Kmh trains cannot risk level crossings from safety perspective. You can't afford a accident at this speed.
It's way different then a freight train rail bed that maxes out at 120Kmh.
How many level crossings are so torn up by vehicles (ie: trucks) that you wouldn't be able to run the train at its rated speed.
Spending $30B to run trains at 150Kmh is a show stopper. Just like spending $500M plus on BRT that only saves 1-3 mins on a bus trip in London.
