Pretty simple, build the tunnels to make the lines more straight and cutting travel time. We need railroads dedicated to high speed rail separating from freight railroads. I don't care about costs or how long it will take to complete these lines. US Interstate System finally completed in 35 years so it's doable with strong political will. I would love to commute to DC from Pittsburgh under two hours.
