I think those are lines with standard passenger train service on them, though I can’t remember the reasoning for that. Might have been the states there refused to cooperate with the company or it could just be a terrain issue with the rail grade being too steep or winding for high-speed rail.

By memory this was a group of enthusiasts realistic dream for a high speed rail network. Basically a possible but lofty goal to lobby for.
The grey lines would be standard speed rail service topping out at 87MPH (some match current Amtrak services, and I’m going to assume without verifying that the others match existing rail infrastructure because the Venn diagram between foamers and river counters has quite a large overlap)
