Big fan of fast trains. So much better than airplanes. Even though they travel slower than jets, there is no boarding wait time so total travel time is far shorter. And of course there are no horrible security lines either.

I am just amazed that we still don't have such trains between LA, San Francisco, Las Vegas, etc. where so many planes a day go back and forth.

We had trains.

" In the period between 1935 and 1950, the 10 fastest scheduled passenger trains in the world were all U.S. streamliners."

Then we all bought cars.
