I use trains all the time where it makes sense, NE corridor and of course in Europe
and the U.S. has a massive commercial rail system because that also makes sense
if long distance passenger rail made sense we’d be using it |

Date: May 27th, 2025 8:44 AM Author: insane pit mad-dog skullcap best ones I’ve been on are the Italian Frecciarossa ones. 300km sometimes, scenic, and good enough wifi for FaceTime
the regional trains are trash tho and should be avoided |

Date: May 27th, 2025 8:46 AM Author: bistre telephone I mean the high speed ones like that, TGV, Eurostar etc...are fast and fine enough but they aren't any more comfortable than Acela and I have never been on a Eurostar or TGV that actually had working wifi. The former Thaly's now Eurostar trains are decrepit inside and often the aircon is broken and they are out of everything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5730271&forum_id=2#48964227) |

Date: May 27th, 2025 1:16 PM Author: Trip indirect expression It's not because the US COULDN'T, it's that the entire capitalist system as currently implemented, demands perpetual earnings growth and expansion. The US did it because it only needed directionless, unimaginative but technically capable people that could be yoked up like new age tech oxen and whipped to pull the burden in unison
With that said, China has stolen enough IP at this point and been given enough of a leg up that they're finally able to design / innovate |

Date: May 27th, 2025 1:15 PM Author: curious toaster hell I don't know, there is just something about trains. My four year old mixed son is obsessed with them and has been since he was two. We went to the model train museum in San Diego the other week when we were there and it was staffed by a bunch of old retired guys who bring their toy trains and watch them go around in a circle all day.
The one guy was so proud. He was all, "That's my train!"
Some people really fucking love trains. |

Date: May 27th, 2025 3:54 PM Author: curious toaster hell Back when I was in law school I was running some opposition to the expansion of the San Diego airport and had to publish some notice in a local paper about a ballot initiate I was planning.
A bunch of wackos came out of the woodwork to send me letters and emails and shit.
I got this one letter addressed to the Honorable Chilmata, Esq., or something ridiculous, and it had this incredibly detailed blueprint of a high speed rail train that would run from Miami to San Diego. IIRC there was also some mega jet port worked into the plan. Dude spent a lot of time on putting that together. |

Passenger rail makes no sense in America but California is spending billions of dollars because enough elected men voted for it because they like choo choos. |
