So instead of moving all of those good by train you'd prefer they all switch to trucks which emit far more carbon? All for your fervor dream of connecting rural counties with no population to a commuter rails system that no one would use in most of the country. If you disagree, I'd suggest you take Amtrak from St. Louis to Chicago and see how empty it actually is, you'll probably get your own car.
- pessimizer 3y ago> I'd suggest you take Amtrak from St. Louis to Chicago and see how empty it actually is I've taken it dozens of times. It's not even vaguely empty. Largely because the train starts in Chicago. It takes a bit to get to less full stretches. edit: in my head I was thinking Chicago-St. Louis. The answer is actually simpler - the train is relatively empty from St. Louis to Chicago because it is the last leg of the trip. Chicago is the end of the line.
