If we get a bullet train in the US it should be something like a DC to San Francisco route, make a proper substitute for cross country flights.

That would be awesome, but I think the best value would be with a run up the northeast (DC-Baltimore-Philly-NYC-Boston). All massive population centers close together.
The year is 2008 and Texas residents are being promised a bullet train.
The year is 2016 and Texas residents are being promised a bullet train.
The year is 2024 and Texas residents are being promised a bullet train.
A bullet train? in my Texas?! That sounds like some east coast liberal anti-car woke socialism!!
We dont want none of that hippy dippy liberty stealing foreigner mass transit in our glorious state!

Mount a gun on it and you got a deal.

Is this likely to be built before CAHSR and Brightline West?
Was watching Hollywood screenwriters make fun of CAHSR back in 2014, during the second season of True Detective. Ten years later and still nothin'.
They built some pretty large viaducts a few years ago.

Yeah, not going to happen. Most projects of this size are dead in arrival, even if faintly realistic at the start.
How about you just start with good rail infrastructure and upgrade and improve there? So many more gains for a fraction of the cost.
