This is a nice PR twist in what's effectively a simpler story: mismanagement, absolutely horrific train systems, downright fraudulent monopoly with no updates

This is a nice PR twist in what's effectively a simpler story: mismanagement, absolutely horrific train systems, downright fraudulent monopoly with no updates to any technology. Well what could go wrong? I remember just a few years ago, sitting in an Amtrak admiring the view... Well the train tracks for three hours really while waiting out on a BNSF rail to pass through. Yep, oil and shipment are more important than human beings. And the dining car was an outright joke, they microwaved some shitty prepackaged food even then. This was on multiple long hauls, mind you, not one of those short day trip feel good trips (which I admittedly took as well).
