...one thing the article doesn’t mention is the RR advantage in a blizzard....it doesn’t take but a few flakes of snow to screw up the D.C.Beltway or the New Jersey Turnpike...however, the Amtrack Metroliner will get you to New York when the roads are at a standstill.
If the roads are at a standstill, how would you get to the station to board a train and once at the of your trip how would you get from the train to your final destination? Thanks, but no thanks. I’d rather be stuck at home than at a train station.
