I tried to make it fairly realistic. Obviously I would like HSR absolutely everywhere, but a line through middle of nowhere Montana probably would not see much ridership and would come at extreme cost (especially in the mountains).

I mean I’m down for leaving Utah and Idaho disconnected from the network (and they probably like it that way too) but isn’t there this big railway going through Utah already?
Yeah, it’s just not high-speed. Not mapped are all the many other non-HSR rail lines you would expect as part of a complete system.
