"Dude, I have ridden on trains all over this country. I have forgotten more about the rail business than you know."

LOL...you ride on trains, therefore you know all about the rail business.

I suppose you fly in airplanes, therefore you know all about the airline business. And, you drive a car, therefore you know all about the auto business.

The only reason I read your "stuff" is that you crack me up. Everybody needs a good laugh from time to time.

You claimed to be a Real Estate expert too. Then said you can't even paint your living room and are underwater.

That's funny. The idea riding on trains taught made you an expert on the freight rail business is silly.

I am sick to death of you would be capitalists that all you care about is stopping progress. You all are holding back this country as other countries leap ahead of us.


Other countries aren't leaping ahead of us because of high speed passenger rail.

Damage is done by ignorant people making decisions and spending public money on stupid superficial bases. If high speed passenger rail made a lot of sense in America, private industry would be raring to build it.

Hey train guy, tell me why it cost $520 for two round trip tickets between Tokyo and Kyoto on the bullet train (Shinkansen). We could have probably flown for that much.

High-speed rail is nice, but it's going to be damn expensive.
