Would you want a 150 MPH train running by your house?

It's already there on the whole frekin' shoreline... they got the land,
it's not about land...

Where is that?

Are you saying they are going to condemn all of those Sandy damaged
properties and build a railroad? (where the next hurricane will
destroy it)
That sounds like our government.

Don't understand your question... There is already a railroad there...
Right on the shoreline.... all the way from Stonington to Grenwich....

What is it used for now and how will they replace that line if they
put in high speed rail?

You don't run 280,000 pound freight cars on the same track you run a
150 MPH train.
Railroads are in no big hurry to get rid of freight, that actually
makes money to put in a money losing passenger service.

It's mostly a passenger service... they already have some high speed
locomotives too, but it's still not the right tool for moving folks
around here...
