For those who think flying sucks.
https://ibb.co/nLVG10W With trains, you don't have to deal with airports or long rides to and from the airport to your eventual destination. With trains, you usually don't have to deal with long lines. With trains, you don't have to deal with crappy seats, even the crappy seats in first class. With trains, you don't have to contort yourself to pee standing up in the rest room. With trains, if the engine fails, the train simply comes to a stop. -- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * |

As long as you don't mind a 20 hour ride plus the trip to and from the station. The train makes sense if you can take the Metroliner to NY from DC but I am not taking the milk train from Florida to DC and I would have to drive to Sanford to get it (4 hours or more each way). Where do you catch the train south? Union Station? Somewhere in Virginia? RSW is 15 minutes from here. You are also one bomb threat away from full TSA screening on the train. There are no long lines in 1st class. They have an express line through TSA, the ticket counter/baggage check and you board first. I would drive before I took a train. It is faster. |

The "photo" compared the time it takes to go similar distances on China's modern passenger rail system and our ****ty, outmoded, ancient passenger rail system. The last time we took the train to Jax, we boarded at Union Station in DC, but it does make a brief stop in Alexandria, Virginia. We did that once. Parking there was free...within sight of the Masonic tower. We usually take the train to NYC, New Haven, and even Boston. Took it to Providence about a decade ago. And if there is a freight train, they have priority over the passenger train. Admittedly the train system here sucks. Even for freight. We tried to build a high speed system here. $33 billion they told us and we voted yes. Now we are pushing $100 billion for a system between two Central Valley towns. As to freight. Buddy use to own a rebar company. They trucked the rebar from Salt Lake City area to the bay area. Asked why not train? He said, 15 hours via truck, 1-3 months for cars get switched around and may sit in a yard for a month or more. Passenger trains and even freight were victims of unreasonable union demands. Go from steam to diesel and the Union demanded you still have a fireman, etc. also, the population density in lots of the world supports HSR. Not here in lots of the area. |

Parking there was free...within sight of the Masonic tower. We usually take the train to NYC, New Haven, and even Boston. Took it to Providence about a decade ago. I said the train makes sense in the Acela corridor but once you get out of that cluster ****, not so much. There is no way a high speed rail link to Florida would ever come close to paying for itself. I also doubt you would ever get all the people along the way to go for it. Trains are dangerous enough at 45-50. Going 100+ in populated areas is a death trap. They are trying a faster train (still not anything like high speed) in South Florida and the death toll is striking. I heard a stat a little while ago that less than 100 miles of track on the gold coast generates more deaths than all the other track in the US. The problem is about 100 grade crossings. Imagine what that would mean in the 900 miles through the rest of the Atlantic states. I suppose if cost was no object, you had the land and you could get a hundred local governments to sign off, it could be elevated but it would end up cheaper if they just put all the passengers in stretch limos and drove them down, feeding them champagne and caviar the whole way. |
