How much will it cost for these regional lines of 100 to 600 miles?

Less than air fare along the same route.

Source, please? Anything to back that up? Does that include the deployment costs of the track amortized over the lifespan of the track?

My cost to fly 200 miles (Seattle to Portland) is about $150 round trip; will high speed rail - with the still-coming spending on the lines - be less than that amount?
