A new study for Georgia Department of Transportation officials says high-speed rail service between Atlanta and several Southeastern cities is feasible – but would cost billions. A proposed line to Birmingham, for example, could cost as much as $8 billion to build.
The study says high-speed passenger trains connecting Atlanta with Jacksonville, Fla., Louisville, Ky., and Birmingham, Ala. would be economically feasible.
