Obviously, you have never experienced Amtrak - the airline of the railways.
It's not that bad everywhere Amtrak runs ...
Still, it doesn't make sense that every other country in the world seems
to be able to figure out how to get passenger trains to go where they're
needed, pretty much when they're needed, in a fairly efficient
expeditious, affordable manner, but we can't do it in the U.S.
Rail travel was the treat of my 2004 visit to Scotland. All the major
cities and many of the minor ones were connected by rail.
Of course, they also had comfortable, convenient inter-city bus service
as well.
