I doubt it. It took 5 years to build the first 515 km Shinkansen line, in Japan. A coast to coast railway is a major project. 1 year is not a reasonable timeframe. Infrastructure is slow to build.
It took 5 years of construction to open the south east TGV line, 7 years to complete it.
It took 24 years to construct I-90 from coast to coast, and that’s with most of the east coast segments being preexisting toll roads.
All major Infrastructure projects are slow. Your timeline is not realistic.
So we could build a coast to coast high speed rail line in a year if we really wanted to.

It is entirely about the political will. If they had it they could do it. We certainly have the resources and skills.
