Is this heaven? No. It's Iowa.
80% of the route will be underground, so no sightseeing anyhow. Besides, the vast majority of people travel to get somewhere: sightseeing is an incredibly minor amenity in terms of mode selection.
 
I too ride the train to get somewhere, but sightseeing from the train is an amenity important to me, and a major reason I pay more to take the train instead of saving time and money by flying.
 
Let's go back to "real" railroads: The French have done it again. April 3, 2007, 574.8 km/h = 357.2 mph
