1. Interesting data.
2. I imagine when you said “Lake Shoe Ltd.” you meant to say “Lake Shore Ltd.”?
3. So their (Europe’s) trains are faster, and more expensive?

Another example of “you get what you pay for”, then. I took a train from Paris to Madrid once - it was in 1978 - took all night and a good bit of the next day. You had to change trains at Hendaye/Irun because the Spanish rail gauge was different from the French - I think this date back to the Franco era - Franco figured this would keep the French from invading LOL.

There's a rational explanation for that:

1. I have a crappy old computer with a worn-out keyboard.
2. I have crappy old eyes with worn-out bifocals.
3. I had a crappy day yesterday and was feeling all worn-out.
4. All of the above.

Yeah, but from what I've heard, owning/driving a car is even worse... not only very high fuel taxes, but also very high fees for getting a driver's license and stuff like that. Of course that probably differs from country to country and I could be misinformed. But that's the impression that I have.
