When I was in Japan two years ago, one thing I was amazed with is their train system especially there bullet train (Shinkansen - 新幹線). Amtrak is a joke. One thing I would like to see besides a train system here in the USA is also special train cars where you can take a vehicle with you as well. I have family in Indiana and livere in Colorado. It would be nice to drive to Denver, put my car on the train and do an overnight train from Denver to Saint Louis or Indianapolis. Save mile on the car and in lieu of renting a car, have my own vehicle. It would be a nice to have the same thing going to California as well.
We waste money on special pet projects that makes some pressure group happy but the majority gets screwed.
