This a thousand times.

And I'm American, suck my dick OP.

wait until the fuel prices go up

Trains wouldn't appear so gay if bullet trains were made by Americans right?

>>151993
enjoy watching us use another resource when we actually start seeing problems. Bitch we wait till the last minute, and it works

It's probable, but we already saw the degree to which people reduced fuel consumption in response to increased oil prices. It's unlikely any alternative source of power will be quite as underpriced as gasoline and diesel now are. Thus alternate modes of transport are likely to gain greater acceptance alongside whatever alternative fuel we end up developing.

Sure, cars aren't going anywhere, but trains will continue to make inroads on what is now the automobile's domain. This should particularly be the case once a few HSRs get built and all the idiots who lack passports figure out what we've been missing out on these past few decades. Then they won't be able to get HSR lines built fast enough.

This. I envy countries with proper public transportation infrastructure.

Pacific Electric Railway
NEVAR 4GET

>>152041

>>152041
sup, southbay fag?

>>152031
Just like you did during the oil crisis? No wait, back then the whole country ended up standing still because of the lack of fuel.

To think LA could have the awesomest commuter rail ever (think PE not closing down but constantly expanding until now).
Tokyo would be a playground in comparison...

Nigga you blind or something?

We got shitloads of trains in America. Like, more than some European countries. Put something on a train in Florida and pick it up again in Seattle, fuck.

Now, if you meant "hi-speed passenger rail" then yeah, that's true.

or public transport. You've got whole cities with nothing but fucking roads and not a single meter of track.

>>152409

If that guy is a crew member he should know not to stand on or in between the rails.. That shit would get you in trouble at CSX anyways.

Brought down by Cloverleaf Industries.

>>152442
National City Lines
And when that got exposed the government stepped in with anti-trust laws to break up railways, the 79mph limit, etc

>>152443
uhm..It was a joke actually. Cloverleaf Industries is the name of the company that purchased the Red Line and was going to eradicate Toon Town to build a freeway in the movie 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit.'
Actually, the Red Line was a loss leader developed primarily to develop real estate in the area for land baron Huntington. Once the 'burbs were up and running, its profitability declined significantly.
