High Speed Rail Between Hilo and Kona

[Carey]

This island did have a rail system (remnants are still visible in areas like Kolekole & the road named "Railroad" was part of the route. It was mainly a freight transit, and it was no longer viable after tsunami & earthquake damamges over the years.
High speed rail systems need to have rails that are much more aligned than the old clickety clack trains. These trains will need a lot of maintainance after the high initial costs....all paid for by taxpayers... (past rail systems were paid for by big Sugar...but that was not a public system either)
