I can confirm I'm from Missouri. Though to be fair where I live the closest major city is more than a hour drive away. Excessive driving is just an unfortunate part of life in the Midwest shit hole.
The Midwest is so flat, it's basically gagging for some tracks all over it.
I imagine the main concern was if there's enough population to use it effectively but that's surely not an issue now.
Lived there, can confirm. Then I visited actual modern countries and they look at a distance like that and are baffled that there hasn't been built a high speed train already. Why would you drive 10 hours when you could sleep, read, or watch TV on a train for 6 hours instead?
I live in VA and the closest big city is an hour away.
