Abstract
This paper is an essay on the role of very high speed trains to accelerate regional economic growth with a case study of Ohio. It builds on the network insight that innovation and economic growth rise at a rate that is 1.2 times the size of a city. Very high speed trains can make cities that are between seventy-five and one hundred and fifty miles apart into commuting suburbs of each other. Thus, VHSTs can accelerate innovation and economic growth significantly.
