What about rails? You need rails first. Who is providing the land where rails will be built on?

But yeah, trains it is!

We already have rails and rail right of way established all over tgw country. Push comes to shove, build is as a layer on the Interstate highway system.

Too expensive and hard to maintain. You can get pretty good speeds with traditional rail, in western Europe there are trains reaching 200-250km/h.

300-350km/h actually. Although most places indeed average 200-250 on high speed lines, for example in Germany because those services often share infrastructure with slower trains. In France and Spain, however, infrastructure is often exclusively high speed which allows much higher sustained speeds around the 300km/h mark.
