Is the U.S. ever going to have high speed rail service?

Europe, China and Japan all have high speed rail. It is talked about in the U.S., but nothing has happened. It is long overdue.

I can see high speed rail being competitive with airlines even over fairly long distances, like between New York and Boston or between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I did a google search to see what the problem is. Apparently, lobbying by airlines and oil companies is a big factor. Doesn’t anyone lobby for the railroad industry?
