    It's insane that America has the most rail of any country in the world, yet I've literally never been on a train. Only been to bars that inhabit old passenger stations sitting on lines that now run coal and industrial chemicals to the privately owned weapon manufacturing plant and power station.

      last wedding i went to, some guests said they took a train instead of a plane, they said it was less expensive than plane but took more days so the cost of food put the trip above a plane trip

        I took Amtrak from Charleston to NYC, about 14 hours or a little slower than driving would take. Cost $150 :/

        I also take North Metro Rail pretty often since my college gives us free rides, pretty convenient for getting to my hometown and it's usually faster than driving
