There are those that when you mention trains start to have an orgasm, we have a few at FR. Most here are rational and will spend a few minutes to look at passenger trains from a practical point of view to determine if there is any logic to be found.
The majority will conclude that you would have to suspend all reality on the planet earth for this to work, but sadly some reside on planet.....Choo, Choo!

but sadly some reside on planet.....Choo, Choo!

To be purely accurate, maybe that should read passenger choo, choo! I have another idea. For those crazies dying to travel by train. It would be cheap, easy to do, and solve two problems. Add a pleasure dome to a boxcar, or a caboose to the train, that would hold passengers, and they can be carried on the freight train. After everyone figured out it was faster by car or airplane, you could quietly fold the passenger operation, without having to have new right of way new cars and engines and a planet load of cash and credit subsidized by government “forever”.
