Comment on Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas

I live in Texas and this is unlikely to happen. It was more likely to happen a few years back. I doubt they will build a eletric train between two liberal cities. The only thing that would make it less likely is if you said it was a gay eletric train. Even if they did, Texas cities are sprawled out and require a car. It would only work if you could load your car on the train. It would be useful for students going back and forth to their universities. However, university students are almost as despised as poor people or minorities to most of the voters in Texas.
Yes exactly that. You can’t start a high speed train and expect for it to work.
Each train can handle the same amount of passengers as a couple large planes if not more. When they arrive at the destination something is needed for them to reach their destination…

What if they promised to put guns on the front of the train? Would that help?

I love the way you think.
Put a gunner’s nest up from B-52 style.
Advertise the shit out of that job.
We’ll have republicans building trains between neighborhoods by the end of the year.
