I suspect the east-west rail concept is being hyped to further raise real estate values. All the powers that be can't even keep the T running properly, I can't imagine how any agency will manage to reconstruct rail lines for high-speed service and then keep that service running reliably. At least within the next 10 years.

It took them like 30 years to add a few stops to a Green Line extension.

There is no political will at the state or federal level to build out a robust commuter train based infrastructure. I would love it if they did but it's just not a priority.
