They're trying to shove this crap down our throats here in Ohio with a Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinatti route at the whopping high speed of 79 mph.

F it.

Willie, you need to get with the 21st century here in the USA. You like trains? Move to Europe.

• The 79-mile-an-hour trains (possibly averaging 39) are a phase. States that have faster systems have started with slower ones. Upgrading to a faster system might not be many years off, given the existence of a federal program to fund faster trains.

79 mph in their dreams. The rest of the article is a lot more damning than just the speed issue.

Some people choose to avoid air travel and the insanity it requires to finally get on the plane, and then no pillows, blankets, liquids, bathroom breaks in the final hour and so forth.
