How can our eyes be real?
What a beautiful sight.
It's too bad Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood is such a flimsy underrepresentation of the average American oil tycoon
And once again Phoenix to Las Vegas is ignored.
i mean, at those speeds, it'd probably still be faster to take the trip through LA than to drive at least.
WIll the prices not be as bad? Amtrack costs like $270 from Clevland to Colorodo which I know is a travaling half of the country but thats not cheap for me
If you buy a ticket last minute for a high speed train it will stay expensive. Train people want you to be predictable, so book ahead and pay around half price.
Slower trains will obviously be free at point of use.
I'm no expert on US geography, but isn't it like really dumb to put 3 train lines through desert? (the red, yellow and grey lines).
i can understand the coastlines (east and west) and maybe one in the south (the yellow line). what i basically don't get is the rest.
