Can someone put ALL train speeds in kilometers as well?

edit

I think people in other countries or imigrants will want to see the train speeds in kilometers.

This map should be added and another map already added should be updated

edit

Can someone add a map of all high speed trains that are currently open in the US? Can someone add the dates of predicted or official completion to the map near the top of the article? I did find a map with the information I want but I don't know it's license and may not be able to add it. Link to the image I am talking about: http://www.ushsr.com/ushsrmap.html

DOT work in this area in the 1970s?

edit

The US DOT did a lot of work in high speed rail research during the 1970s, including Maglev and air cushion trails i believe. Including some working test vehicles. This project was cut from the budget by the Reagan administration in the early 1980s however and all the research was terminated.

If someone could add this information to this article I think it would be a worthy addition to the knoweldge base of wikipedia.
