I think many Freepers are excessively negative about Rail.

I think it's less that we are negative about rail and more that we are skeptical about demands for tax money.

If a private group were to submit a proposal to build a subway or commuter rail line with private money, I'm very confident you'd see a lot of Freepers giving loud cheers and sincere well-wishes.

There are also questions that the choo choo marxists refuse to answer with good reason. If the people recognize the ammount of land that would need to be siezed for the nationwide rail project, it would die a painful death.

Some months back Willie himself posted a map of a proposed line of less than 20 miles in Pa. The map showed hundreds of buildings that were marked in red due to the fact that they were in the way of the rail.
