Other than the Positive Train Control Experiment in Michigan, to my knowledge, the only current environmental study/engineering work being done to further HSR in the USA is underway in North Carolina and Virginia.
Earlier this year, the website for the SEHSR was updated to spread the word about field work commencing in the Raleigh-Richmond corridor.

If they keep the timetable proposed, a 2015 opening of a fast line between Raleigh and Richmond with 110 mph running speeds would be terrific.
