This goes to show that *Africa* has more progress with high speed rail in a decade than the U.S. in over 5 decades... Great review nonetheless, and I congratulate Morocco on this milestone. Egypt is planning on having their own high speed railway too in the coming years with Siemens Velaro trainsets.

USA 🇺🇸 doesn’t need a high speed rail and here’s the reason. “American railroads move more than 5,000 ton-miles of freight per person per year. That's compared to 500 ton-miles per person in Europe and less than 170 ton-miles per person in Japan. ... That means moving more freight by rail rather than truck reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%.” European rail can only carry less than half the weight vs US. US has longer distances than Europe. US is better for design for freight than passengers.

@@pawelpap9 Ik what im talking about, it's because of *Geography* Places with high speed trains are usually dense, and no more than 600-800 Miles apart. Where flying is too short to fly but driving is too long to drive, thats where high speed rail is the best possible midground. Japan's Tokyo-Osaka is a good example, or France's TGV from Paris-Lyon, or Germany Frankfurt to Munich/Nurnberg, Spain, Madrid-Barcelona. Im not saying US Canada and Aus needs it across their places, thats ridiculous, they need it in places that makes sense, DC-NJ-NY-Bos has high speed rail, but it's slow and needs upgrades, that'll soon change, LAX-SF is a mess, lobbyists, politicians stealing money etc, Dallas to Houston is another, the list goes on, we dont need something like NY-LAX, thats insane. Same goes for Canada, something like Toronto to NY will makes sense, Aus: SYD-Brisbane, Melbourne, what do these three nations also have in common? Greedy autoindustries lobbying against projects like high speed rail

I don't know what country you are from, SNCF was also involved in the construction of high-speed rail in California in the United States, but the confusion of the Americans made SNCF withdraw from the plan to this day did not succeed, please do not put the United States and continental Europe together to say things, thank you.

I am from India , I visited Morocco alone in 2009 on holiday trip. Morocco is totally westernized and it does not have Islamic influence though there is huge mosque in Casablanca. Morocco is in African continent but they are more of Europeans. I travelled from Rabat to Tangier & Rabat - Marrakesh. There was no high speed train in 2009. I spend 70% day time in Train only. Morocco has completely changed now after this high speed train. Some Morocco people asked me whether I am India or Pakistani . What I observed in Morocco in 5 days is that Morocco people love Indians very much than any other Arab county. The hospitality that I received in Train, Bus, Airport, Hotels etc. by Morocco people is unbelievable & beyond my imagination. Indian tourists can explore Morocco seriously. 100% , you will return with good memory

The Tangier station is absolutely beautiful. So is the Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech stations. They look like airports in first world nations. Plus Morocco Mall, the hotels, highways, cultural and historical sights, airports and fleet of Royal Air Maroc, I’ve got to say I’m impressed by Morocco lately. Their football infrastructure is also amazing with the stadiums being rebuilt and the most high tech training academy for their national teams, the Mohammed VI Football Academy is European level of technology. This comes as a surprise as Morocco compared to Nigeria, Algeria, and the Congo is much less natural resource rich. Yet they have surpassed most of Africa in most metrics. Tangier Med is one of the largest ports in the world and is largest in Africa, Morocco exports 700,000 cars a year (also highest in continent) and has the largest solar power plant on earth Al Noor sun station which will connect to England via a cable and provide England with clean energy. I’ve been considering investing in Morocco lately as well. Prayers for the earthquake victims ❤️

Congratulations to Morocco for this goal. As for Brazil, for over 30 years I have read in the newspapers about countless projects about a fast train between the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro that have never left the paper. Our politicians only promise, promise, promise, talk a lot and that's it. We don't even have passenger trains in our country (with the exception of only two daily trains from the private company Vale). As the world advances, Brazil is only on a promise of a development that never comes.

Luckily after the Brexit, the UK is seriously exploring the feasibility and could give a green light to build one between Gibraltar (under UK authority) and Tangier once the financing is secured 😍😍

I agree 100% about having a LOT more high-speed rail here in the US. We are a huge country with many, many medium to large cities that are within 200-300 miles distant from each other which are perfect opportunities for building a high-speed network linking them together. A high-speed rail network would take quite a lot of traffic off of our highways and airports since such trains are so much more convenient than driving or flying (and cheaper, and much more ecological since they run off of electricity - even if that electricity is being generated from fossil fuels).

In Germany, Switzerland, France, we most certainly don´t have trains with toilets "that evacuate directly on to the tracks!", since all our trains are far to modern: Bombardier Twindexx, DB-Dostos, Stadler Flirt, Stadler Kiss, Talent 2+3, Mireo, Coradia, ICE (all of it´s variants), Pesa Link, BR 612, BR430, Desiro HC, Lint, to just name a few of those currently in service in Germany. One exception: Museal trains, mainly BR111 hauling so called "n-Wagen", but these are not very often around anymore (TRI, GFL). And even some of these old stock "n-Wagen" - many of these sold to and mainly in Service in Albania and neighbouring countries nowadays - do have actually vacuum-toilets build in (some are former cars that in cold war would have had served for the German army as a mobile hospital). And: Since this morrocan-african railroad infrastructure is fairly new opposite to western europeans tracks and many trainstations that are oftentimes over 100 years old... I think you get the point.

Of all the North African Berber nations, Morocco definitely has the longest history of being a stable power in the region. They briefly flirted with piracy during the colonial period but they emerged from the Second World War in a position to greatly benefit from the new Europe. And moreso now into the 21st century. Historically, Morocco has even been a very favorable country for members of religions other than Islam. It had a Jewish population exceeding I believe 300,000 before the creation of the modern day state of Israel. Though the two nations have had periods of back and forth in terms of recognition, their people enjoy very friendly relations. There are also numerous churches that exist within modern Morocco and the country is quickly moving up on the world stage but is one of the 6 Anchors of Africa, including Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria. While there is certainly a trend among impoverished nations undertaking grandiose infrastructure projects, see the Indonesia high speed train that is going to spend money bulldozing through the most populous island in the world with a population greater than Russia, or the various high speed trains into western China that make no economic sense at all and function moreso as a way for the CCP to exercise direct control over the regions and internm..Er ‘re-education’ camps. Morocco certainly has put steps in place to benefit from this rail line along it major population corridor and a growing economy.

All main stations in Morocco are super clean, Morocco is becoming clean country although some places need to catch up and we still have some backward idiots that make litters . You should visit one day, it’s a special country.
