That works. The local L trains running along side the highway in Chicago got me, seeing 5 trains roll by while barley moving in bumper to bumper gave me the final push to covert to public transit
The number of people I’ve met who will never take Amtrak again because they saw one delay, but will sit in gridlock for an hour each way to/from work to go 10 miles without blinking an eye drives me batty
I’d take Amtrak in a heartbeat if meaningful service actually existed.
Yeah, there’s precisely one (1) train per day leaving North from Atlanta, and it departs at 11:30 PM. It’s a fucking joke!
We’re the end of the line but we finally got service back where I live (we had it… In the 80s or something?) we have a morning and evening now and it’s really good for heading north to DC and nyc.
I agree we need to get that network expanded though, we have the rail for it already
You’re moving barley? You can’t move barley on a passenger train, you need a freight train for that.
I mean you could, but it would be very inefficient.
Everyone fill your pockets up!
