Err, "standard" railway gauge is the same under both systems: 1,435 mm
or 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in.
And if the rest of the world accepts km/hr, no reason the US couldn't either.
You are setting up strawman arguments, like trolls do.

"kilometers per hour" is not a metric unit of speed since "hours" do not 
exist in the metric system, only "seconds." You need  a speedo marked in 
meters per second. Oh, another thing, we have to pick up all of our railroad 
tracks (and we have more that the rest of the world combined) and change them 
to the metric gauge for railroad tracks which will, of course, mean repacing 
all of our rolling stock too. Yep, America (you know, the country that put 
man on the moon) should definately go metric.
