Pay for what? My point was that the planned new railroad ain’t necessary. Nobody should have to pay $336 million per mile for any railroad at all, even a subway line.

Not to worry. Doubt if we even have a country left by 2040.

I only meant that a train service should be financed by the people who benefit from it.

A federally funded train is unfair to the other 98% who have to pay but don't ride. AMTRAK is a federal welfare program for the East coast.
