& our trains went through them circa 1880s.

unless you're saying we don't know how to put trains through mountain passes (we have existing dedicated railbed & right of ways), i'm not sure what your point is.

Mine is: Bullet trains don't require totally straight, totally flat track. Nor is finding land to put bullet trains on the big obstacle you're making it out to be. The US has thousands of miles of existing railbed & railroad right of ways.
