Just reminded myself that the distance between NYC and Chicago is almost exactly that between Beijing and Shanghai, and that the 1st is served by 1 train/day that takes 19 hours, and the 2nd is served by 35 trains/day that take as few as 4.5 hours.
I am not an expert on this; someone who was explained to me that Amtrak cannot import trains from other countries because passenger wagons must be heavier so they can withstand collisions etc

That’s correct. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) crash-worthiness standards. Possible changes in the works.
