Oh I do, it’s where I live. At current costs its about $1.6m(1) per mile, so yea, agreed, probably not much. Will have to check back in 5 years after we see the costs to operate and lawsuits from accidents 😆

You guys gotta remember that the US is double the size of the entire EU. I will say that I don’t disagree in that more rail would be nice, but you have to think about this logically.

how about historically? we had rail, and it was great. Most of it was ripped up at the behest of auto manufacturers.

It was mostly the street car systems that got ripped up, not the stuff that carries freight.

trams were the biggest casualty, but not the only.
