Can anyone point to a high speed rail project that is self-sustaining and doesn’t need gobs of tax money to keep it going?

The one in my garage.

2 passenger and 3 freight trains run on a regular schedule.

Visits from grandsons double the load, as it takes at least 3 sets of eyes to run the layout with 10 trains.

On a side note, the company that was to supply the trains for the new 61 mile-long SunRail project in Central Florida has gone out of business.

Does it have 4WD to get by without those federal road track subsidies?

You Sir, are an unabashed braggart and I am very, very jealous of your railroad yard!
