The equipment is out there, available for purchase today. All that Amtrak needs is the line capable of running those speeds. There are of course limits to how far HSR can travel and still be a viable transportation option (typically no more than 600 - 700 miles), but since most travel is done regionally, HSR is viable for a good number of common trips. The terrain between PHL and PIT is even roughly the same as Hamburg to Frankfurt. I don’t believe it is a flaw at all. The equipment is out there, available for purchase today.

Try making the same example with a Swiss airport and Italian rail. The flaw in your logic is that you’re comparing a US-based airline to one of the best rail systems on the planet.
