I live in the DC region. We have a metro system which can take us from the Maryland and Virginia suburbs to downtown DC, as well as a train system which can take us from Union station to the Northeast corridor.
I personally, however, almost never go to DC by any means of transportation. I live and work in an office in the suburbs (and will in the future be working permanently remote).
I've also never been to New York and have only once had an opportunity to take a train there for work, but told my boss I didn't want to go so they sent another engineer instead.
The only time I've considered taking the train has been between DC and Richmond, and DC and Florida (where my dad lives). If there was a HSR that went 200mph from DC to Florida, it would take me 4hrs to get there instead of an 18 hour car ride.
What regions would be useful to you for service? Where, if they existed, you would take them often enough?
7 months ago I filed an SEC whistle blower complaint on darkpool activity, securities manipulation, and use of darkpool to violate SSR rule 302. I compiled FINRA data as proof. Rock Solid Proof.
They have done nothing... and it has only gotten worse.
Online chatter about the darkpool games needs to increase dramatically to gain some traction.
If the general public does not start to pick up on these games, nothing will be done IMHO
Need help for this question, thanks a lot for the help!

Yesterday, November 18th, ILSA (Intermodalidad de Levante S.A.) unveiled in an event at Madrid's Puerta de Atocha station its high-speed service for Spain - Iryo.
ILSA ordered 20 (+3) ETR1000 trainsets for use in Spain. Some images of the trainset at Madrid's station yesterday:

They are set to begin operation in the second half of 2022.
After the national championship game this past week, I heard a lot of pundits telling me how much faster UGA and Bama's players looked. I'm a Big Ten fan, and I'll begrudgingly admit that these two were far and away the best teams in CFB this year. However, this quip about the two teams looking faster made the data analyst in me interested in seeing if the fabled SEC Speed was a real thing.
Data Collection
I scraped each year's combine results dating back to the 2010 NFL Combine from Pro Football Reference and, after some cleaning, managed to produce a csv file containing combine results from every players dating back to 2010. I picked 2010 because it felt like a good clean cutoff and this isn't a serious-enough study to worry about it.
Then, I grouped each conference's results to get a picture of how they compare to one another. We grouped non-power 5 conferences together as there were too many schools and I didn't want to make a list of schools for each non-Power 5 conference by hand.
Missing Data
It should be noted that some players didn't have data for every combine event, so I worked with what was posted on Pro-Football Reference. Because of this, one could argue my dataset is incomplete, and they would probably be right, but this is how I spent my Friday night and I'm sticking with it. To be honest I don't have the time or wherewithal to chase down some App State Lineman's 3-cone drill. If that's your thing, more power to ya.
Results
Below are the average 40-yard times for each conference at the combine:
40 yard dash average times by conference -- All Players
| Conference | Average 40-time |
|---|---|
| ACC | 4.747 |
| Non Power-5 | 4.763 |
| Big Ten | 4.763 |
| Big 12 | 4.774 |
| SEC | 4.784 |
| Pac-12 | 4.785 |
Out of the 6 conference groupings, the SEC ranked 5th in terms of average 40-yard dash times. histograms here show the distribution of 40-yard times for each conference. No conference has
