WHAT IS THIS MAGIC paging @tinyampersand

she really can do anything

My life is the everlasting struggle between wanting mermaid long hair or a badass pixie

SAME

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT JOANNA SAID *dies*

Surely there are more trains lines about than this ?!

Nope. We’re animals. I’ve only trailed by train twice in the U.S., and it was the same line, once DC to Philadelphia, and once DC to NYC for work once I discovered the train was two hours faster than flying and cabbing back into NYC.

I do forget though that you guys fly everywhere and trains might not be practical. I live on an island the size of one of your states !

Fun fact: the busiest railway station in America (Penn Station in New York City) gets fewer passengers than Liverpool Central.

Just imagine the jobs you could create by building a decent railway system!

Behold, the end result of graft and political corruption.

I had no idea most of the US had no regional lines? Like, I live in tiny little MA with one of those clusters of red. Does everybody else have to DRIVE???

yes. we drive. and it’s terrible.

D: This is actually distressing.

what the shuddering fuck?  That’s IT?!  

actually we used to have a lot more, but as far as i’m aware i’m pretty sure the car companies bought a lot of railways and then destroyed them to force people to buy cars

WAIT WHAT? THAT IS ALL?

There used to be more (map of train tracks 1870 & 1890), but, as @kaza999 pointed out, alot of it was destroyed on purpose by General Motors in the firsty half of the 1900s to, ahem, pave the way for the primacy of the car.  And, since then, any investment in rail infrastructure (or any infrastructure at all, for that matter) has been opposed on ideological grounds by the conservative wing.

When you suddenly understand Sheldon’s train enthusiasm

Munich’s network deadass has more lines than the entire state of MA

like the one thing i miss about australia is the public transit (and meat pies ngl)

I have wondered why I never hear people from the US talk about taking the train, this explains it :o

I take the train to go visit my mom every summer, Long Island Railroad to Amtrak, and still have to drive an hour from the nearest train station to her house, and that’s actually not that bad considering how few trains the rest of the country has.

Yeah Kasich is never gonna let us get high speed trains as long as he’s governor. And it sucks because if we had them I could actually go places as a disabled person who can’t drive.

I had never ridden a city bus until I was 18 and my friend Karen made me. (Thanks Karen!) When I moved from Oregon to Sydney I marveled at the trains. I couldn’t understand why people bitched about them. They MOSTLY WORK! I still marvel at the extensive public transport here. Like we live 900m away from a train station and my husband gets the train to work daily. It’s miraculous. I’m never going to get over how little you need a car in this city.

I’ve lived in Japan for the last two years, and the train system here is AMAZING. There are trains almost everywhere, they’re reasonably-priced, and they run ON TIME. It’s one of the things I’m truly going to miss when we move back to the US.
