[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have rail because the rubber, gas and car lobby killed rail, time and time again, starting with the dismanlting of the really awesome streetcar systems we had in just a bout every city until around 1960. When the first oil shock hit in 1972-1973, the europeans and asians decided to decouple of middle eastern gas and invest in subways and rail. What did the US do (other than BART and Metro) - highways, single family press-board cul0de-sac exurban development and so on. Choices based on lobbying from corporate interests.[/quote] Amtrak had record revenues and passengers in 2025 yet still operated at a financial loss while depending on Federal aid to maintain. Let us know how much the American taxpayer will be on the hook for this DC to San Fran high speed rail before the first track is laid, please [/quote]
