And in 6 hours on an airplane. Progress!

Every time I look at Amtrak I’m shocked at how expensive it is.

Why do people actually use it? I'm serious. What's the benefit over flying?

DC to Philly is perfect. Downtown to Downtown in less time than flying.

So trains are a cool novelty but inefficient mode of passenger transit. Shocking

They take up space that could be used for freight. Complete waste of resources.
