Also, in the US this could help bypass land-use issues. If you use the right-of-way the interstate highways already have, you don’t need to have a legal fight over building on privately held land.

It's pretty easy to expropriate (eminent domain) those, at least in Canada.

You should read about the efforts to build fast rail in California. It was totally destroyed because they had to ask permission to each and every tiny county and make so many compromises, that it's no longer considered high speed rail.

Yeah, I figured it would be different in different countries. I live in Texas, where a promised high-speed line between Dallas and Houston has been stalled by landowners telling the state to fuck off. If they had asked the Obama administration to let them use the interstates, it would probably be in construction already.
