even the slow-ass northeast regional is so much better than flying that when traveling to DC or New York from central virginia i will take it each time over a flight

anyway Cato is just doing the bidding of their fossil fuel masters. in the real world, forward-thinking states (like Virginia!) are planning big expansions of passenger rail because it is a) more cost-effective than new highways and b) very popular
connecting the nation's major metro areas by *any* passenger rail, to say nothing of high speed rail, would be transformative
folks if this account is anything, it is vocally and aggressively pro-passenger rail
also if you like driving you should be pro-trains. getting people off the roads means less congestion and an easier ride for you!
okay one last train tweet (for now): there's nothing quite like traveling in a way that lets you enjoy the scenery of the country. the trip from DC to C'ville is incredibly lovely for how it takes you through the central virginia landscape!
