The high speed train is just as deadly as a 20mph freight train if you go around the gates. Crossings can be upgraded later.
A big hurdle that still needs to be overcome is that you have many at grade crossings and running a train at that speed is just not safe. Those will need to either be closed, be grade separated [[bridges), or have some impassable gates installed [[and maintained). There is just not enough money for those improvements as evidenced by the lousy roads and transit we currently have.
