It worked on every other continent. Of course it would be harder to do in the US because they've neglected building out their railways for so long. But the Chinese built a high speed rail network in a few years. There's no practical reason why the US wouldn't be able to do it.

The U.S. can’t build like China does. Too many stakeholders to satisfy. Labour too expensive. Too many regulations. The high-speed rail line from San Francisco to LA is going to cost more than all of China’s high-speed rail projects combined!
