Richardson? There was another phony baloney....I don’t recall the man ever capable of putting a coherent sentence together....
They must have got the idea from Alaska and its bridge to nowhere.. Richardson is a no good low brow sob, new mexico gets screwed , so what else is new. ;-)
meanwhile,
California is wanting to join in too..
California may build train to nowhere

I’m all for High Tech and Sleek trains that connect major regional centers if we could afford them.. however they ought to be built and run by firms here, not by foreign ones, and obviously, financially make sense and large volumes of passengers are a certainty. The Vegas to LA rail project could be such a run... blabbed about for years, who knows , someday.. they could name it the Disney ExPress or something.. Willie Green Way? ;-)
Hopefully, our industrial base is not so decimated that it could not handle the jobs created by keeping work local so to speak.
In the right locations, they can be the perfect meow... or just another a railjob gone wild.
That means every time a tourist hops one of those trains they cost the taxpayers probably $15 to $25.... assuming those trains are even a quarter full. lol.
300 mph passenger train makes no economic sense
I don’t care if it was free. The future is somebody from the Feds will be grabbing my crotch. Papers please.
I found a rail industry analyst with his name frequently quoted. He was probably trying to astroturf for his investment house.
And don’t forget his spitting on his country when he visitedthePueblo onhis nice trip to North Korea.
Yeah, you’re right. I love the 40 mph sightseeing excursion from Chicago to Bloomington, IL. 150 miles AND it takes almost 3 1/2 hrs.
We put a man on the moon....and we have the sorriest rail system on the planet....
If you can develope a 300 mph train, I guess that means you’ve pretty much mastered the ones going half that speed.
40 mph trains....Yeah, you’re right....that makes economic sense....
This country and all the politicians from both sides are a freakin embarrassment....Is there one voice out there? One person....who can stop this madness?
Amtrak runs two opposite direction trains on ONE set of tracks here.
So one train has to pull over onto a siding to let the other one pass.
YAWWWWWWNMMNNNNN
This is the only-north south rail between NY City and Montreal YAWWWNNNNN
It`s been this way since 1870..
YAWWWWNNNNN
Here come those damned chickens again.
That’s because politicians refuse to consider anything but BS political diversity routes, and Amtrak refuses to let any private outfit compete with them.
If you saw some of WG’s other topic posts you would understand his mania better.
and he was nasty, too.
Even at the rediculous fare rate, I question the passenger load of that line. I have driven along side that track and the few trains on it 4 times in the last 12 months. The cars were virtually empty. The line was and is a leftist elitist pipe dream.
No, when the part about how RR’s are a stupid waste of money is when Willie’s no where to be found.
Wait, Tattooine wasn't a bad place. Sure, it was full of liars, thieves, smugglers, knee-cappers, cheats and all-around bad guys, and they had their own space port, but they all served a purpose, which was to do their level best to live outside the clutches of the Empire.
In NM, they do all that while embracing the expansion of the empire.
CougarGA7’s name for the New Mexico Spaceport was Los Isley...although the wretched hive of scum and villainy is up at the roundhouse.
Classic! I'm gonna start using it.
So move there and you can ride it. Personally I would rather keep my bullets.
The one is the One. He will save our economy by putting us to work on his railroad.
